Well, if each day = 716,000,000 years, then after 6 days, you roughly get the 4.3 billion years that scientists say the Earth has been floating around. That come 1/2 way to evolution :) Or .. say a day is 500 billion-trillian years .. maybe the 6 days aren't up and God is still doing some tweaking ;) The convenient thing about all of this is, if you have a theory that can't be proven, you can make up whatever "rules" you need to support that theory as the need arises. I've also heard of creationists that reject the "day is longer than a day" theory, insisting that 6 days really does = 144 hours. I don't know what rules they have come up with to rationalize that, but they would be interesting to hear.
