Besides, in the original Hebrew I don't believe it specifies days. I think Nate can clear this up, but I think the word used means a period of time, not simply "days". A lot of subtleties are lost with all the pre-english translations, which is why I think that believing anything written in the English version is a very dumb thing to do. Not a bash at Christianity, just a general lack of common sense amongst monolinguals.
No, it literally says days. Plenty of people have interpreted this as being a symbolic day (or era) but that doesn't have much logic behind it.
