If i might be allowed to quote from (thump?) my Bible?
'But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day;' -- 2 Peter 3:8, NASB
i believe in both. i believe God made it all ~ i just don't believe that we can presume to know how long a day is to a Being that is beyond the bounds of time.

No the term day as well as year are translated to be the equivalent of modern measurements. The original translation uses terminology that translates to sunset, so obviously that's a day. The Bible is of course completely fictional, there is of course NO GOD, or that is to say all religions are wrong. Could there be a superior being of course, was Jesus his son, of course not, are religious people liars, of course.
Religious nuts have tried to interpret their way out of the bibles horrible historical inaccuracies and it's awful sexist, hateful and homophobic passages, but in the end it is what it is, a fictional book written by a bunch of narcissistic sociopaths who lived in a cruel, barbaric and ****ed up world. End of story.
