The order has eveything to do with it. If it is out of order, which young-earthism requires, then the Bible contradicts reality and is in error. If the Bible is truly infallible, then only the interpretation that is without contradiction is correct. That's simple logic.
Why Young-Earthism is NOT the Literal Interpretation

There is a difference between observation and interpretation.
The observation says that there are days, and there is nothing in the observation to insist that one think of them as other than days.
Interpretation is an entirely different issue.
Imho, the final answer will be one that preserves the integrity of the use of "day" and also preserves the integrity of all other factual truth about nature, universe, etc.
Alamo-girl has an interesting take on this relative to the dimension of time.
