Some people (like myself) have a problem with the literal week (7 24-hr.
periods) in Genesis because the sun wasn't created until the fourth "day".
It seems like the "days" weren't solar days, at least.

The ICR creationists interpret the periods as seven 24-hr days.  But others,
see other interpretations as being more consistent.  An example whould be
Dr. Pattle P. T. Pun (PhD biology).  See his book "Evolution:  Nature and
Scripture in Conflict?".  Pun is a creationist, not a theistic evolutionist.
His book is very well done; one of the best of creationsist books, I think.
