They are correctly willing to take the resurrection literally....but not the creation.
There is a justifiable reason for that. One is a cataloguing of events witnessed by many, many people. The other is Moses writing down what God told him to write down. And God successfully communicated scientifically interesting subjects without offering any spoilers. :-)
i.e. we know as much about events and timing of creation as we do about events and timing of the return of Christ.
In either case, I’m not picking a day.
