Everytime creation is the topic the days are presented as being literal days, not ages of untold millions of years.
The same school of thought denies the legitimacy of Noah and the Ark, making it to be a fairy tale. Once you start whittling down what God is able to do, there is ALOT of Bible to whittle down.

Noah and the Ark-just figurative. Probably wasn't even a man named Noah.
Sodom and Ghommorah? just figurative, God just wants people to be nice....you know, the sin wasn't "really" homosexuality, but unhospitality
Lot's Wife... just figurative
The Red Sea Crossing....not real either
Manna from heaven....have YOU ever seen manna?
Virgin birth......impossible
Ressurection......just figurative
Eternal life.......

Every time the word "day"is used in the Old Testament and modified by an ordinal, it means 24 hour day.
God is not flakey with words.
God didn't define 6 days here differently that the definition of the 7th day.
8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Same writer
Same bible
Same book of the bible
Same God says:
10And it came to pass after
seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
If an honest godly person interprets scripture correctly, under what basis does the duration of seven days change between Genesis chapter 2 and Genesis chapter 7?
Using Darwinism to interpret scripture was not available to the OT prophets and writers.
These same folowers of Darwin say the 6 days referred to in the 10 suggestions are different days than the 7 th day which is the sabbath day.
Long-agers generally teach that
Genesis 1 means something other than what it says, such as that it is theological poetry, or an allegory involving metaphorical people.
