The current seven days of the week were popularised by the Romans, but the very reason we count a week as seven days is because of the account of the early chapters of Genesis.
Sunday was traditionally the first day of the week amongst God's people, so day 1 would correspond to a Sunday of our calendar.
The first day of Creation was a Sunday, from Saturday evening until Sunday evening. See also:

There is no evidence for a literal six-day creation, and considerable scientific evidence that there could not have been a six-day creation. Even the sequence of events in the six-day creation story in Genesis chapter 1 is scientifically wrong - such as the sun and stars being created after the earth already existed.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
An overview of "day 1" reveals the establishment of the "24-hour day" [one rotation of the earth from sunset to sunset]... distinguishable by the separation of "day" and "night.""...God called the LIGHT Day, and the DARKNESS He called Night..." (Gen.1:5)The "light" God created was the first "daylight" portion of the perpetual 24-hour day.This established "time"... and the Divinely inspired "seven-day week"... the repeated seventh day of which God set aside for man to "remember creation," that could never have been remembered until the first day was made."...And the evening [darikness] and the morning [light] were the FIRST [24-hour] DAY." (same verse)
That can be confusing. AM and PM get mixed up a lot, and it is confusing that the day starts at 12 instead of at 1. Midnight is the one that begins the day, so 12 AM (midnight) on Tuesday happens right after a really late night of 11 pm on Monday. 12 PM, or Noon, is the one when the sun is up in the middle of the day.
Day by day, God created the universe and its contents (Genesis ch.1).God created the universe out of nothing (Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 40:28; Rashi commentary to Genesis 1:14; Maimonides' "Guide," 2:30).Note that the Torah, in describing the Creation, deliberately employs brevity and ellipsis, just as it does in many other topics. See the Talmud, Hagigah 11b.On day 1: God created the universe in general, light, and this Earth. The light was not the same as that of the sun. Rather, it was light that God created before the sun, and which emanated from a point in space without any physical source; like what we might term a "white hole."On day 2: God created the separation between the Earth and the upper atmosphere.On day 3: God separated the continents from the oceans, and created plants.On day 4: God created the sun, moon, and stars.On day 5: God created birds and fish.On day 6: God created animals and people.On day 7: God ceased creating, thereby creating the concept of rest.See also:Is there evidence for Creation?Can you show that God exists?Seeing God's wisdom
