According to St. Augustine of Hippo - based on his interpretation of Scripture, specifically the OT books, Isaiah & Job - God exisits outside the constricts of time, therefore any discussion regarding the actual time line of creation are pointless. It may seem like 6,000 years to some, or 400 billion years to others or any other number of years to any other persons. Time is simply a construct that we mortals use to measure what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen. God's perspective may well be that everything is happening all at once, and creation is occurring even now, in the Eternal Present - which is basically what God is.
