The first chapter of Genesis is a type of poetry told in prose. A symbolic way of saying that God built the universe in an orderly manner. The first 3 days God's builds the framework. The next 3 days God correspondingly fills in the gaps. It shows how God built the universe like a man builds a house. And He then rested like men should. Showing men to live orderly lives and rest each week, because God did too.
But that does not mean it was 6 literal 24 hour days. What is a day to God?

also the framework theory doesn't work as well as its proponents claim...the two pairs of three days each do not correspond all that well when you compare them...
