One must remember that the Genesis account for creation was written at a time when man could not comprehend, nor understand any scientific explanation for his come about. Therefore a simple story was made instead covering everything the people knew existed on the Earth. I think Genesis is very much about the 'creation of man' and perhaps the seven days of creating was put in afterwards as a sort of filler for when people asked questions. I'm still not saying we are made of clay and women, a spare rib but again, it's all about a deeper meaning isn't it.
