If a day to god is 1000 years then that would mean the creation took 6 thousand years plus 1000 years to rest plus the time from Adam to the present that is still far far less than 13.5 billion years.

No. Genesis 1:1 is a declaration... no date or 'time' is associated with the when the beginning was or how long from the creation of the heavens and the earth until the devil rebelled. That is Genesis 1:2, describing the rebellion of the devil, whose position of being "anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so; thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire...... Ezekiel 28:14

The devil was sentenced to death, he is the only named entity that has already received that judgment.

Actually, there are '8' days of creation. God rested the 7th day, and then there was no man to till the ground... Genesis 2:5.... Does not know history record, that agriculture was not common until after the 'hunter gatherers' age?

You are rewriting reality. It clearly states that man was created on the 6th day.

There are many many people who do believe that the earth was created in 6 days. They interpret it literally. All of this argument and disagreement among Christians kind of makes my point that the bible is not the word of God. Would the word of God need to be interpreted and argued about every which way from Sunday? No if God is rational and wants us to know the truth then his word would be clear and unambiguous. The reader would not have to go and study numerous translations and the original works in Hebrew and study styles of ancient writing to determine if something is poetry or allegory or a historical account.

If you are coming from a position of faith then the base of your knowledge is belief. A belief or a feeling is not a means of cognition. It’s subjective. To start from an arbitrary claim taken on faith is irrational.

If you are rational then your knowledge must start from Existence exists as an axiom. An axiom is a self evident truth that can not be broken down further. It is a primary and an absolute. It can’t be questioned, it must be either accepted or rejected. A belief in an arbitrary claim or a feeling or an intuition is not an axiom. It can be questioned and must be questioned before it can be considered knowledge.

So you can quote scripture and tell me I don’t know what it really says or I haven’t studied it in the Original Language but the fact remains that all of it is made up of arbitrary claims and the argument for it consists of “prove it is not so”.
