Consider this: On day 6, God creates mankind (Genesis 1:26). Genesis 2 expands this verse into a series of events No it doesn't. Verse 3 of chapter two clearly says that it was the 7th day, and God was resting. Then the rest of the events in Genesis two occur after that (presumably day 8+, since God rested on the 7th). The events in Chapter two could occur in any time after the 7th day of creation; they are not limited to a single day and thus the entire argument presented at the posted site is fundamentally flawed.
Those that suggest that the universe couldn't be created in 7 days just don't understand the nature of time; the passage of time, and it's measurement, is dependent upon the frame of reference of the observer.

So for some observes, it could look like 4 billion years.

If Adam and Eve's creation, as described in 2:4-25, was on the 7th day or later, who was created on the 6th day in 1:26-31?

I always love this sort of nonsense because it only indicates that the writer doesn't understand Scripture at all. While Gen. Chapter 1 describes the physical actions involved in creation, Gen. 2 describes the how man is different from animals and how he has dominion over them - it's two different perspectives on the same event and has nothing at all to do with a second week of Creation...which by the way occurred in 6 days...
