7 days? How did I twist that? Tell me, because, the Bible says that one day to God isn't one day to us.

No. Once science showed that the earth had clearly been made in more than 6 days, religious leaders needed to compensate and keep their followers faithful. Before scientists showed that the earth was millions of years old, biblical scholars would never have proposed the idea that 6 days is actually millions of years, or that the earth is more than 6000 years old. The bible says that the earth was created in 7 days, and that's what Christians believed before science proved them wrong. Similarly, before science showed that organisms evolved, christians adhered striclty to the idea that the story of Genesis was true, and that all animals had been created exactly as they look today. Then the theory of evolution shot that to hell, and they had to change their beliefs again and come up with intelligent design.
Religions constantly have to compensate. Science shows that they're wrong, and so religions have to come up with excuses as to why they're actually right.

"Live a good life.
If there are gods and they are just,
then they will not care how devout you have been,
but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by.
If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them.
If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life
that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
Marcus Aurelius
