Actually, there are several places if one knows where to look. In the creation account, most verses in the original language say how 'God set a system in place and the earth brought forth'. In the original language it doesn't say God spoke and poof it happened. A literal translation is closer to a decree or a law was put in to place and those actions unfolded.
Although the Bible wasn't written as a scientific text, if you look at the order of creation, it fits what scientists basically agree as a logical evolutionary progression, coincidence?
Also, the word Day- 'Yom' YM has multiple meanings throughout its use in the Bible, not only does it refer to a 12 or 24 hour day, but it also is used for the word 'age', an indeterminate amount of time, such as The day (yom) of the Lord or in the day (yom) of xx king. The common practice of literally translating that (Genesis 1) into one human defined 24 hour day, is a fairly modern occurrence (last 500 years primely when James Ussher calculated the age back in the 1500s- most of modern Young-Earth Creationism is based on his work.)
I don't believe in a God that created the universe to trick us. The more knowledge expands, the more about Creation is revealed, not the opposite.
Whatever a day was before the inventors of that word were around is a darned good question.
The Young’s translation is a literal translation of the bible.
