Could God Really Have Created Everything in Six Days? - Answers in Genesis
Taking Genesis 1 at face value, without doubt it says that God created the universe, the earth, the sun, moon and stars, plants and animals, and the first two people within six ordinary days. Being really honest, you could never get the idea of millions of years from reading this passage.

Well, actually you could. The word “day” was not always there. In the original greek, the word used meant “period of time.” No one knows how long a “peroid of time” is, especially to God, who is immortal. Thus His view of time is completely different from ours (not to mention he lives in a different realm of existence).
Thinking about it, no one could get millions of years. One would think billions because not only does it give more credence to the bible.
