While it is indeed true that this could be regarded as a... "convention" on the part 
of societies, one CANNOT change **history**.  I.e. if the very first day of the week 
as far as the introduction of life in this planet is concerned DID take place on *the* 
day we now call Sunday, obviously noone anywhere can deny the fact that the *correct* 
order for them *historically* would forcefully HAVE to be Sunday, Monday, ..., 
Saturday!  ;-)
