It just doesn't add up.

And by that account the 7th day of rest should also take millions/billions of years, therefore any hope of salvation would be pretty far off.
That is a humorous observation. It doesn't seem that the 6 equal lengths of time argument holds up. In order to argue this, one would need a weird notion about time or else disregard scientific theories about the development of the unierse and the evolution of the species.
