No ****. The way we define a "day" is going to be different based on where you live and what your society is.
However, the earth still spins every 24 hours, in our measurements. That's pretty constant.
Actually, it stood still for about 4 hours. This is Joshua.. actually it says the sun stood still.. anyways it was about 10 am, for 4 hours. Chew on that one for a bit
Let me know if you get it figured out.. 
Just.. read some of it. with an open mind. You might be surprised..
Hey buddy, just a reminder that the bible was written by HUMANS. Actually, we know pretty well who wrote the bible and when.
So you have free reign to, you know, NOT take the old testament as a completely literal historical work. God won't hate you for it!
When something is written in the old testament, think to yourself: "does this actually make sense, or does this seem like something written about people who lived thousands of years ago BY people that to us lived thousands of years ago." Also, learn about figurative language, please and thank you!
Oh, and also: you can believe that the earth and the universe was created by God, while not looking like a dumbass. Here's what you do: take the old testament stories about creation and view them figuratively, and then realize that scientific processes like evolution might be the methods by which God created everything.
WOW! Now we're Christian AND we believe in science!
