A Day Age Concordance

That might be interpreted from an ANE perspective, but does not appear intrinsic to the text. There is no mention of a temple, “cosmic” or otherwise.

Not considering that there is a preposition is poor theology. To be sure lets look more at what is said of Jesus:

  • Heb 1:3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

  • Col 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

The image of God is His visible appearance.

  • John 14:9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Sons of Elohim are humans.

  • Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them.

Satan represents our human flesh nature, and can show up among any of us, even in Peter.

  • Matt 16:23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

These can’t be angels:

  • Gen 6:1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.

…for angels don’t marry:

  • Mark 12:25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

The resurrection has already happened.

  • John 11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

The hour is coming…

  • John 5:28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

…and then it comes:

  • Matt 27:51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

Hey, so while a day can have a figurative meaning, as in a longer period, it does still have defined start and end points. Genesis 1 says there is an evening and a morning, and if defined, I believe this can still have a varying duration. The word for ‘day’ is yom (3117. יוֹם) – a day (as the warm hours), whether literal (from sunrise to sunset, or from one sunset to the next), or figurative (a space of time defined by an associated term), (often used adverb) –

With the warm hours or active period we should be able to notice if the defined boundaries I have set in the OP are a possibility. So lets break it apart into an evening and morning, roughly 12 hrs each so the morning begins about halfway between each day.

Day 1 (4.5-2.3 bya) – The morning is about 3.4 bya – God divides the light from the darkness and we see that light can be a metaphor for life.

  • Gen 1:3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
  • John 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
  • Matt 5:14a “You are the light of the world…

God gets up in the morning twilight before the sun is fully up. The first known life was about 3.48 bya:

The earliest direct known life on Earth are stromatolite fossils which have been found in 3.480-billion-year-old geyserite uncovered in the Dresser Formation of the Pilbara Craton of Western Australia. – Earliest known life forms - Wikipedia

Day 2 (2.3-1.8 bya) – The morning is about 2.0 bya and we see the next big step in the creation of life are protists which are single celled eukaryotic organisms. Most of which reproduce sexually and first appear about 2.0 bya:

In the eukaryotic fossil record, sexual reproduction first appeared about 2.0 billion years ago in the Proterozoic Eon, – Evolution of sexual reproduction - Wikipedia

Of geologic note, Day 2 also starts out with an ice age known as the Huronian Ice Age (~2.4-2.1 bya). It gets cold at night.

Day 3 (1.8-1.3 bya) – The morning is about 1.55 bya and here we see the first multicellular life which were of the plant variety (algae):

Macroscopic multicellular life had been dated to around 600 million years ago, but new fossils suggest that centimetres-long multicellular organisms existed as early as 1.56 billion years ago. Maoyan Zhu at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Nanjing and his colleagues report the discovery of well-preserved fossils from northern China showing organisms up to 30 centimetres in length. The creatures’ cells measure 6–18 micrometres in diameter and are closely packed. From comparisons with modern organisms, the authors suggest that the fossils were probably photosynthetic eukaryotes similar to modern algae. – Ancient origins of multicellular life | Nature

Day 4 (1.3-0.87 bya) – The morning here is about 1.08 bya and the next big advancement of life is fungi (between plant and animal life):

Minute fossils pulled from remote Arctic Canada could push back the first known appearance of fungi to about one billion years ago — more than 500 million years earlier than scientists had expected. – Billion-year-old fossils set back evolution of earliest fungi

Day 5 (872-411 mya) – Its morning around 642 mya and while the first animals (sponges) are created in the evening (first part), they are basal similar to fungi or plants. The next big step is mobile animals (starting in the water of course):

Animals first appeared in the Ediacaran Period (about 635 million to 541 million years ago), soft-bodied forms that left traces of their bodies in shallow-water sediments. – Animal - Evolution, Paleontology, Adaptation | Britannica

Also of geologic note similar to the ice age on Day 2, we have ice ages in the Cryogenian Period, biggest of which was the Sturtian glaciation (about 717-660 mya), hypothosized to have been a Snowball Earth event …burrr, its cold!

Day 6 (411-Present (Time of Christ)) – The morning here is about 205 mya, and while mobile animals started moving onto land (tetrapods) in the earlier part of the night (about 355 mya), its still during the same night when the ecological balance is disrupted with dinosaurs (the ‘Nephilim’) running amuck. When the morning comes, God sees the wickedness and issues a “120 year” warning with the “Triassic–Jurassic extinction event” (201 mya) that doesn’t completely wipe them out.

Sea floor spreading (with volcanism, the windows of heaven) of the Atlantic caused by rifting (fountains of the deep broken up) is a major cause for the high stands (Noah’s Flood) in the Cretaceous period.

  • Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

The 120 year warning expired 154 mya when the 40 days of rain begins in the Kimmeridgian:

At the time of Blake Spur (170 Ma, early Bajocian), a drastic change occurred both in the relative plate motion direction (from NNW–SSE to NW–SE) and in the spreading rate (an increase to ∼ 1.7 cm/y). After a small increase between Chron M25 (∼ 154 Ma, Kimmeridgian) and Chron M22 (∼ 150 Ma, Tithonian), the spreading rate slowed down to about 1.3 cm/y and remained fairly constant until Chron M0 (125 Ma, Barremian–Aptian boundary). – An alternative early opening scenario for the Central Atlantic Ocean - ScienceDirect

The Flood (Cretaceous period) is then concluded with the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event about 66 mya, allowing mammals and humans in particular to rise to the top of the food chain.

  • Gen 1:28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that [h]moves on the earth.”
