All of creation took place in 6 days.
The Hebrew word for day as used in Genesis chapter 1 is "yom" (accent excluded). This word can be translated as: an indefinite period of time or an undetermined amount of time.
What could this mean? It means it could have taken millions of years for God to make creation. As we look at all the complex structures that make up our universe, the idea that it may have taken God a while to create it all is not far fetched. This idea has been the source of much conflict between science and religion, but as we see here it does not need to be.
