(If Adam was created on the sixth day, and the sixth day was an unknown, long period of time, then how was Adam 930 years old at the time of his death?)

If a day is a long period of time, perhaps Adam was created at the end of that period of time. It is even possible that the bodies that would become man took up a great deal of that time in there development, but were not endowed with a spirit until the end of that period. With that endowment, man was created, and thus, day six was concluded.

I don't know that I believe that, but I can see how it is not in conflict with Genesis. Therefore, I have to consider the possibility, just as I should consider the possibility of YEC. God's creation is no less His if He did it this way.

If Adam was created at the end of that long period of time, then when was there time, on the sixth day, for Eve to be created.

If she was created after Adam, which the Bible says she was, then why not long ages of time for her creation too?

Adam only lived 930 years and Adam and Eve had children when Adam was 130 years old. Adam's creation took long ages of time but Eve's took significantly less than 130 years?

If you believe what the Bible says, how is the history of Adam and Eve's creation consistent with the evolutionary process?
