To me, in religion, you either take the whole cake or not at all

And don't get me wrong, I'm not insulting you or anyone who is religous. I'm very religious myself. What I'm saying is, I don't appreciate someone imposing there religious beliefs on me.
I think the question is ... how can a mere mortal like me possibly grasp the concept of time as it applies to God?

a day to me is 24 hours. There have been several different measurements of time throughout humanity's history ... why would God be on the same time clock as DYM, living in the central time zone?

Moses lived to be over 500 ... but of course, they measured their years differently.

stories have been used as teaching tools for as long as humanity has been communicating. Aesop's lessons are no less valuable even if the story itself isn't 100% true.

no different with Genesis.
