Gen 1:26-31

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; 30and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so. 31God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

But then it goes on to say

4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

27God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.>>>

But they obviously had not happened because there was no man to till the ground.

Ch 2
22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

God had already created both man and woman so why would he take a rib out of Adam to make a women if the men and women he had created had been fully developed?

I don`t know and am not saying you are wrong, just an idea but there is no scripture which says God made Adam on the sixth day, that is just an assumption.

You may note that it says
in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens

We could argue that God made the earth and the heavens in one day instead of six days but I happen to believe it took millions of years.
