It is a challenge to translate from original languages to modern . That much is obvious. However either rendering of the opening verses allows for an indefinite period of time. This agrees with scientific evidence that the universe may be billions of years old. It also says that there was a beginning- we are just not sure when. The events taking place during the six creative days describe the preparation of earth for life. These time periods were not limited to 24hrs but were much longer in length - again fitting with scientific evidence.
