Come on now, be reasonable.  You simply can't force anyone to say that the
week in Genesis refers to exactly the same amount of time as a week does now.
A week currently refers to 7 days, with a day being the length of time it
takes for the earth to rotate.  Firmament wasn't seperated from the heavens
until the second 'day', so there was *no* earth to rotate to give us the 24
hour unit of time currently called a day.  Day clearly refers to some other
length of time, and hence 6 or 7 of 'em does too.
