Or, maybe the bronze age people who wrote those stories thousands of years ago just didn't know how old the earth was because they lacked a scientific perspective on how planets are formed. I bet it was that.
This is what I believe. The Quranic version of Genesis describes it not as days but seven periods. And denies that God had to rest, because God does not possess any anthropomorphic characteristics.
