My favorite theory to explain biblical creation (I don't hold to strict creationism), is that God, while creating the Earth 6000 years ago, also created 13 billion years of the past to make it all happen. All such stories are more important to me in the underlying principles they illuminate and not their factualness. In this case it points out the falsity in our sense of time that makes such a thing seem impossible.

Interesting way to frame that perspective.
I am also a believer, God said a thousand years is like a wink of an eye, therefore anything is possible in my humble opinion could have been 7 days or it could have happened over a long time. But for sure if we get the chance to speak to God we will know hopefully we get there.
