Well, as for myself, i am not in anyway trying to reconcile the bible with evolution. However, there is a point to be made as what God means sometimes when he says 'the day'. this is a good example of it that Linear pointed out ..See Genesis 2:16 and 2:17...
16And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; 17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and blessing and calamity you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die. God did mean physical death. and surely enough Adam died before a thousand years were up since that day. We aren't given any indication of how long Adam lived before Eve was created, or before they ate whatever they ate that would later cause physical death. It must have been a very long time though because naming all the animals probably didn't happen overnight. It could have been hundreds of years, a thousand even, probably not likely to be billions.
