Hmm, interestingly, in the Qu'ran, the creation story says that the earth was created over seven periods of time, but tends to be translated as days. Which is unfortunately... but yeah, have to be careful with the Bible, because of so many years of mistranslations and interpretations taken as truth. Plus, the Bible was written by man so long ago, when we did not understand all we do now (i.e.--the Earth is not the centre of the universe) so the stories are very simple, passed down myths at the end of the day-- not kidding either, I can relate so many Bible stories to ancient Greek literature.
That's what I mean, I believe the Bible is actually full of metaphors (day-period of time). And I also believe it was written by man...not by God, so there are loads of things we don't understand today (like what you said before)

Oh, and the Adam and Eve idea? Just think of all the incest that brings up.
The Bible does not say that God didn't create any other humans after Adam and Eve, does it?
