People try to make the word "day" say something else because they are trying to make room for the long ages of evolutionary geology. This doesnt work because these supposed ages are represented by fossils showing death and struggle, and thus you are left with the same old problem of death and struggle before Adam. The Bible clearly indicates that there was no death and suffering before Adams sin.

When people accept at face value what Genesis is teaching and accept the days as ordinary days, they will have no problem understanding what the rest of Genesis is all about.

For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it" (Exod. 20:11).

Chapter 11

1. In recent years, partly because of the success of creationist geologists in pointing out the clear evidence of rapid processes in the rocks, many evolutionary geologists have begun to abandon the "slow and gradual" view in favor of the idea that there were many great catastrophes in the earths history responsible for shaping it. However, their opposition to the catastrophe described in the Bible is as vehement and as "willfully ignorant" as ever. A more complete treatment of this area can be found in the literature mentioned in the resource section.
