This is pretty much done for us, isn't it? In Genesis, 1: ... 5,8,13,19,23,31 we have the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth days enumerated explicitly, by name.
Now you want to discount the first day and tell me I'm missing something?
... Continue on thru to sixth.
Right, if you discount Day One, ( as you very explicitly and vehemently did, ) then two through six amount to five days of creation ... at most!
“Now you want to discount the first day and tell me I’m missing something?”
It is so simple. Amazing.
Day 1: Light, day and night
Day 2: Atmosphere
Day 3: Separated land and sea
Day 4: Plants, planet configurations, etc.
Day 5: Sea creatures
Day 6: Land creatures, man
Day 7: Rest
Within the six “day” nothing is said of creating the Earth. It was already here, and evidently destroyed.
