There was no direct contextual evidence in your presentation that the meaning should be taken figuratively. Let me put it another way. If the Holy Spirit was trying to communicate to us a sequence of events that took millions of years, then it seems to me that he is not a very good communicator. The use of First Day, Second Day, etc. and Evening and Morning are time references that are not normally indicative of millions of years. Was he trying to be mysterious or ambiguous in your opinion?
