These conversations are always interesting. Hopefully this did/will not turn out to be a further move toward secularism. I say that because I watched a movie very recently that explained scientifically how the six-days as reported by God were due to frequency reduction in the speed of energy/light. I believe that three significant conditions must be met for any explanation to be worth considering: 1) Adam and Eve were morally accountable to God and not subject to death, (i.e, they were not a product of evolution), 2) the creation of earth happened somewhere where there could be a cocoon of water over an atmosphere, over a ball of earth and sea (v 6 and Day 2), and 3) the scientific fact that the atmosphere of the earth is around 14,000 years old. Now, some other really interesting results could come of such an explanation. For example, "God separated the Light Matter from the Dark Matter. Another example would be "God took a [angular organ in Hebrew] [rib of DNA] from Adam to create Eve. Going back to the second day, imagine what the plants and animals would look like in a world where a layer of water protected them from radiation and held the heat (including that from the cooling of the earth). Plants would be huge. Animals eating them would be huge.
