1. Context of Exodus 20:11
2. Each day in the creation week is numbered
3. The creation happened during the "day", and the evening and the morning (of the next day) were the first "day", or 24 hour period.
Yes, "yom" can mean age, period, aeon, etc., but there is no example of that in the OT when it is coupled with an number (as in the Third Day) or when coupled with a reference to astronomical event, (e.g. evening and morning).
In addition, that means that God created the plants on Day 3, and waited aeons of time to create the Sun, Moon and Stars on Day 4. When laid side by side, the sequence of events in Genesis do not mach the sequence supposed by the Big Bang and Bacteria to Man evolutionary theory. You must also do away with original sin and that all death (animal and man) was brought by the sin of Adam. Also, we must explain how God could call his creation "good" and "very good" when it required the deaths of billions of life forms to generate the ones that could adapt and survive.
It sounds familiar since you’re making the same mistakes others have in reading and understanding the words used in the Genesis account.
Being common mistakes I don’t fault you for that but I do for not taking time to do a bit research (the access is free) on the subject.
If you would, you would not (I hope), make statements like this:
“In addition, that means that God created the plants on Day 3, and waited aeons of time to create the Sun, Moon and Stars on Day 4. When laid side by side, the sequence of events in Genesis do not mach the sequence supposed by the Big Bang and Bacteria to Man evolutionary theory.

Also, we must explain how God could call his creation “good” and “very good” when it required the deaths of billions of life forms to generate the ones that could adapt and survive.”
I actually have no idea what all this is supposed to mean but I won’t do your Biblical research for you just to point out the obvious errors of your post.
