Yes, my point being is that the days in Genesis are attached to numbers, so as in all other parts of the bible where this happens, it is referring to 24 hour days.

I think looking for evidence of creation is a viable part of science. Indeed cosmology is involved in this. How long did creation take? Well, our best estimates is that our universe is just under 14 billion years old. So it took that long for the universe to reach its current state. Should a Christian look to the evidence of science? I personally believe that one should believe in as many true things as possible, and science seems to be our best way to understand the truth of our reality.
