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.

What is the evidence for a literal 6 day creation?

The evidence for a literal 6-day creation comes primarily from a literal interpretation of the Genesis creation account in the Bible. Some proponents argue that the Hebrew word "yom" (day) in Genesis refers to a literal 24-hour day. Additionally, the genealogies in the Bible are sometimes used to calculate the age of the Earth as around 6,000-10,000 years old.


What was the light created on day 1 in the creation story?

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)
