Actually the phrase is "There was evening and there was morning." Which is why Jewish holidays start at sunset.
In any case, Genesis 1 is not written from a human standpoint. How can it be, when there are no humans -- or even an Earth or a universe -- at the start of it? It is written from God's standpoint and from His experience of "day" and "hour."
