One thing to consider ...
..if Adam or the adams or mankind was made on the third day and Christ Jesus came 4,000 years later, might the period of ~0AD to ~70AD have marked the start of the 7th day (50 years grace and dunging following advent of his ministry, then came "the end"). As in: the Gospel as a message of a perpetual sabbath and jubilee for those in Christ, a kingdom that cometh not with physical observation, a temple not made with hands.
