Genesis, for instance, says the world was created in seven days. "There's no compelling reason for us to say a day is 24 hours," Vale said. "There's no reason to say God could not create the world through evolution."

He's wrong.

Look at the order of the Creation days, what came first in what order.

Look at the order of the Creation days, what came first in what order.

The two accounts differ on their order and they differ on their instructions to be fruitful and multiply.

OK, I'll bite ~ which came first? I'm reading it as "God looked". That implies quite a bit of stuff. It implies eyes, state of mine to create a mental intention (among other things).

Then God goes on to create other things. Interesting that we have "eyes" created first (that "looked" thing) and only later the animals with a need for the eyes.

It's not mine to fathom the mysteries of God's judgments, however, I do believe the brief account in Genesis is short on the details, as well as the sequences!

No, you are wrong.

Gen 2:4 demands that "yom" in the 6/7 days of Creation the Hebrew word for "day" be translated as an indefinite period of time.

Since the first three days happened before the Sun was created, this reinforces that yom cannot be 24 hrs in this case.
