So to add to it here, again let us look at the 6th creation day account:
Genesis chapter Two concerning Adam and Eve creations, duties etc, all logically happened on the 6'th day of creation because the 7 day of creation had not come about due to the work going on and none resting.
So if this were are real 24 hour earth day period, then lets look at what happened.
The creation days all begin in the evening and end the following sundown. Therefore, this follows the narrative that God made animals and Adam sometime in the evening hours of the sixth day. He next brings all the animals before Adam to name.
How many of these species were there then? 10 or 50? or thousands upon thousandths? Well there are about 8.74 million animal species in today's world

You do the math. Back in creation say there were only one million, how long would it take to name them all?
Has this been considered by YEC's?
Maybe so but explained away in various ways no doubt.
As I mentioned prior:
The Six Day of creation, if it were a real 24 hour day then during those 24 hours, Adam would have named all the animals, been put to sleep and operated on, and woman made...
Now men, if there was the perfect women, and you gals, saw the perfect man before you - what would you be thinking?
Hubba hubba - Adam says .. a WOMAN and Eve says A MAN! Hubba hubba what's this I see let's.... hmmmm edited...
Imagine that God would intervene during this time and say, only have 24 hours, lot of animals to name,
No you two back to work, all hanky panky later after the seventh day that is...
So during the evening hours, God made the Animals and Adam. Had Adam name these in the dark, then put him is deep sleep, make Eve, before dawn or at least by midday... There are how many species of animals around and could these be named in a 24 hour day as well as trending and keeping the Garden of Eden as well too?
Whew, I can't get that all done in one day - can you?
Then see your mate for the first time and all the yearning too?
.. Come on now, that was one heck of a 24 hour period wasn't it?
How many animals could Adam have named during a 24 hour day with the only rest being put to sleep by God and operated on by God then Eve?
Toss n the fall of man in the mix and what a heck of a day!
This defies logic. Yes, one can pass it off as a miracle and Adam was superman and Eve Lois Lane but that simply defies all logic of even miracles. Even if God made the sun to stand still, then the 24 hour day was much longer than 24 earth hours.
So explain how could all animals be named (character assigned is more likely than a mere name like elephant) in a 24 hour day, be put to sleep, operated on, and finding your perfect mate naked before you

as well as tending too and keeping a really big garden all happen in a literal 24 hours?
So, how long then were all God's creation days?
