All of the days in Genesis end thus: ‘And the morning and the evening were the nth day’.

All save one.

Why is that?

God could only count to 6.

Genesis is the story of Creation and God created everything in six days, resting on the seventh. Science now (and for several decades) has believed that everything, time, space, material, energy, all started with the 'big bang'. The first law of thermodynamics dictates that energy can be neither created or destroyed. It is, in other words, the Law of conservation of energy. Parallel to this is the Law of conservation of matter stating that matter can be neither created or destroyed. Since 'Trinity' on 07/16/45, those two laws are combined such that neither energy nor matter can be created nor destroyed, only transformed.

Since the 'big bang' is impossible, given these laws, there must be a first cause outside of time (since everything started with the 'big bang'). While secular scientists postulate just about anything to avoid even thinking there might be a (horrors) God in charge, Genesis explains the 'first cause' elegantly and concisely in the first four words: "IN THE BEGINNING, GOD created the heavens and the Earth..."

This man, a physicist, believes that we are currently in the seventh day, if I recall, the day you ask about. He ties young Earth age creation theory (6,000 years) to old Earth creation theory (15+/- billion years) and explains how the Earth can be both 6,000 years of age and also 15 billion years of age. (FWIW, I haven't watched this video in a number of years, so I may have made some errors in my comments about this video.)
