"Nowhere in the Scriptures does it teach God spoke creatures into existence"
"Also, there is no reference to the creative days being contained in an instant of time. They were in fact thousands of years in length. The fossil record harmonizes with that."
Cough, cough
You may not understand it or how, but the scriptures do NOT support your claims here, so we have ZERO grounds to be creative like you have here.
One would be best to just say, I don't know as against creating your words, message here, that's not supported BY the Bible.
Gen 1:19 - And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowlthatmay fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw thatit was good.
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold,it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Ex 20:11 - Forinsix days Yehowah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in themis, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Yehowah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Re the making of man quotes you draw upon = what is going through your mind, to quote and write such???
It does absolutely nothing to support your above claim.
Matt 19:4 - And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which madethemat the beginning made them male and female,
Gen 1:27 - So God created man in hisown image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
How in God's name can you even think that Jesus in placing himself back in Gen, when the God and Father hands on alone, made man?
Jesus does Not suggest or even imply this.
His words -> have you not read -> suggest that he Only found out by reading the scriptures, like he repeatedly says about many things, he knew.
Other wise he would have clearly said, he was there.
The Only ones that the Bible allows you to draw upon as one or more of the ours and us, other than God, is the likes of the following verse, whether you like it or not and if you add something else, like Jesus for example, then YOU ARE adding to the Bible.
"Nowhere in the Scriptures does it teach God spoke creatures into existence"
Psa 33:6 By the word of Yehowah were the heavens made and all the Hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.
So the ours and us can Only be referencing, one or more of the Host, no more and no less, without adding to the Bible.
