When the Bible says that G-d created the world in seven days, is that really seven days?

Two possible conversations on judgement day:

Conversation 1

God: How come you didn't believe me when I told you of a 6-day creation.

You: Well it was obvious that you meant 6 'ages' cause science told me that the universe was around for much longer.

God: Oh ye of little faith. Depart from me.

Conversation 2

God: How come you believed in a 6-day creation when all of the scientific evidence told you otherwise. Don't you know that was just a 'story' to explain a concept that humans were unable to grasp yet?

You: Because you said it, I believed it.

God: Well done, good and faithful servant.

Interesting idea, but I think that this is more like the conversations on judgement day will sound:

You: Hi, God. Wow-impressive Book and Judgement Seat and Lake of Fire you've got there. In case it's not in your Book, I just want to tell you that I never committed any bad sins, and I always listened to my pastor and I always-

God: (Interrupting) What of My Son, Jesus?

You: He's cool; but I was going to tell you about how I ALWAYS believed in biblical creation, and even argued with folks who didn't!

God: That's good of you, but I can defend myself just fine. What of My Son, Jesus?

You: Gulp!

We must be careful what we preach. Paul preached Christ and Him crucified. We can work on their history once the Holy Spirit is working in them.
