As for the Jews interpretation, I will ask you a question if I may. Can you find even one Hebrew scholar who does not believe that the day in Genesis one is a literal 24 hour day? I'll even accept one who supports evolution.Many Orthodox Jews accept evolution as the way that God created us. There is, for example, a good essay on that subject in the notes to Genesis in this edition of the Torah (sorry, not on-line so far as I can find.)
