Try reading the Bible.
Genesis 1:
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning”the first day.
One day.
Pretty clear unless you want to make stuff up.

If you use the procedure:
It is only an error if there is absolutely no conceivable manner in which the verses or passages can be reconciled.
... that was posted in another thread (see Message 47 you might be able to do that. After all if the only limitations are "anything conceivable" then just about anything will fly.
What it actually says though is:
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning”the first day.

Sure, but only if you go by the "Make up any conceivable way around the problem theory of Bible Study".
NOWHERE is the actual creation of the planet described.
Nonsense.
Genesis 1:
1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
The stories that were compiled to make the tales in Genesis 1 & 2 are valuable, but trying to make them relate to creation is to miss the whole point.
The point of the stories are the relationships they describe. Trying to come up with some make believe excuse for time lines or 7 days is a total waste of effort and is to move away from what Genesis 1 & 2 are trying to teach us.
