Mogga, the word ''day'' needs to be understood according to the context in Genesis, throughout other books of the Bible as well the English into which it has been translated.
(Genesis 2:4) This is a history of the heavens and the earth in the time they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.

''Time'' can be used in a similar way. It can vary from meaning an instant or moment to an era or age of indefinite length. The 7th creative day of God's rest commenced thousands of years before Moses wrote about it. It still continues today around three and a half later and there is another 1,000 year reign of Jesus to come before it ends.
This should help you to see what the word '' day'' can mean.

Are you saying the bible can be interpreted to suit one's agenda?

So how long did it take god to "create" such a complex project like earth and the universe ?
