IMO you should do LOADS more research, on massively more important things.
like you know... the nature of god, redemption, the afterlife, and behavior, law, ect?
seems to me like those sort of very specific details are pretty trivial.
oh, if you have no precise measuring system and such, a differenc eof .1416 is a pretty darn thin difference.
and btw the first day was the separation of light and dark. second was creation of the firmament. third was separation of the waters. at least thats how I remember it.
so it wouldn't be entirely inaccurate, in a techical sense, to say that "the earth" was created in 2 days.
"separation of the waters" refers most literally, that is, to exposing dry land out of the water. but more involved-ly many consider it to be referring to defining between the water of the ocean, and the water of the sky(clouds and such....)

The six days are simply a yardstick providing us with a lot of information. Thus, we learn that the vast lifeless physical universe was created in within six days, while the tiny mote called ``Earth'' was created in two days (Water covered before land) (41:10-12). This shows that Earth emerged from the universe. And the seven heavans emerged from the expansion of the Universe.
[11:7] He is the One who created the heavens AND (total) the earth in six days - * and His (earthly) domain was completely covered with water - ** in order to test you, to distinguish those among you who work righteousness. Yet, when you say, "You will be resurrected after death," those who disbelieve would say, "This is clearly witchcraft."
[25:59] He is the One who created the heavens and the earth, and **everything between them, in six days, then assumed all authority. The Most Gracious; ask about Him those who are well founded in knowledge.
The Big Bang Theory Confirmed*
[21:30] Do the unbelievers not realize that the heaven and the earth used to be one solid mass that we exploded into existence? And from water we made all living things. Would they believe?
Footnote
[21:31] And we placed on earth stabilizers, lest it tumbles with them, and we placed straight roads therein, that they may be guided.
[21:32] And we rendered the sky a guarded ceiling. Yet, they are totally oblivious to all the portents therein.
[21:33] And He is the One who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; each floating in its own orbit.
[21:34] We never decreed immortality for anyone before you; should you die, are they immortal?
[21:35] Every soul will taste death, after we put you to the test through adversity and prosperity, then to us you ultimately return.

i hope my answer really does help you
there is not much difference between all these religions
the question is if you believe in the old testament they are all the same
christianity believes in jesus as God son and has a new testament
judaism does not accept prophet muhammad pbuh
islam does not accept jesus as god's son
look at it broader
i hope you choose the one that your heart desires
there is a saying amongst us muslims: one who is born a muslim is aware of what to do and not to do but of some his or her faith is weak yet a converted muslim comes in fully aware and is able to do the daily requests from God with so much more blessings and God forgives those
Now this doesn't mean that you should be a Muslim because religion is just faith but pick which idea you support

Peace be upon you
7:54 states that He created the heavens AND the earth in six days, in 41:9 it just says the earth. If you want to discover Islam, here are some websites:

Religion isn't the important issue here, but your relationship with Jesus. (John14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.")
_________________
Simply and true, to be saved you must believe in Jesus and know that He is the Savior. Any religion that doesn't teach this truth is a false religion and not worth your time. You must decide which is more important to you, to follow the teachings of men or the teachings of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Seven is a holy number to God and it was in 6 days that He created everything and on the seventh He rested and Hallowed it which means He made it holy.
God Bless You.

I don't have a religion either, but still believe in God! Rather get yourself a Torah and reap up in there, because Christianity and Islam both stem from Judaism! But whichever you feel best with...good luck in whichever way you go!

in my opinion, God didn't create religion, people did.
God created a way for people to come back to Him, Jesus the Christ, is the only way.
so to be muslim, to be christian to be whatever is ur own choice but remmeber the way if u didn't take it u won't reach anypalce.

I hope and pray to Allah with all my heart to open ur heart and mind to the beautiful and true religion of Islam so that u will be victorious in the hereafter. I pray that Allah will guide u to the right path. Here is the answer to ur question. Please do not hesitate to email me if u need any further information about Islam.
Praise be to Allaah.
This is an issue which confuses some people, and some of them think that Allaah created the heavens and the earth in eight days as Allaah says in Soorah Fussilat (interpretation of the meaning):
“Say (O Muhammad): Do you verily disbelieve in Him Who created the earth in two Days? And you set up rivals (in worship) with Him? That is the Lord of the ‘Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
He placed therein (i.e. the earth) firm mountains from above it, and He blessed it, and measured therein its sustenance (for its dwellers) in four Days equal (i.e. all these four ‘days’ were equal in the length of time) for all those who ask (about its creation).
Then He rose over (Istawa) towards the heaven when it was smoke, and said to it and to the earth: ‘Come both of you willingly or unwillingly.’ They both said: ‘We come willingly.’
Then He completed and finished from their creation (as) seven heavens in two Days and He made in each heaven its affair. And We adorned the nearest (lowest) heaven with lamps (stars) to be an adornment as well as to guard (from the devils by using them as missiles against the devils). Such is the Decree of Him, the All-Mighty, the All-Knower”
[Fussilat 41:9-12]
because this seems to contradict the other verse which says that He created them in six days.
This is a misunderstanding, and the answer to it is as follows:
There is no contradiction between the time period mentioned in these verses and the other verse which says that it was six days.
In these verses – from Soorah Fussilat – we see that Allaah is telling us that He “created the earth in two Days”.
Then He “placed therein (i.e. the earth) firm mountains from above it, and He blessed it, and measured therein its sustenance (for its dwellers)” in four days equal– i.e., in two days that were added to the two days in which He created the earth, so the total is four days. It does not say that the creation of the mountains and the measuring of the sustenance took four days.
Perhaps the confusion which is mentioned in the question stems from this, i.e., from thinking that the four days are added to the two days in which the earth was created, equaling six, and then adding the two days in which the heavens were created (“Then He completed and finished from their creation (as) seven heavens in two Days”) – making a total of eight days, not six days. But this confusion can be dispelled by dealing with this mistaken notion. So the earth was created in two days, and the mountains were created and the sustenance measured in two more days which makes a total of four, i.e., this took the other two days. Then the creation of the seven heavens took two days. So the total is six days of the Days of Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted.
The mufassireen commented on this fact which deals with the mistaken notion. Al-Qurtubi said:
“in four days” – this is like someone saying, “I set out from Basra to Baghdad in ten days and to Kufa in fifteen days, i.e., a total time of fifteen days.” (al-Jaami’ li Ahkaam al-Qur’aan, vol. 15, p. 343).
Al-Baghawi said: “in four days” means the creation of what is in the earth. The measuring of the sustenance was on Tuesday and Wednesday, which along with Sunday and Monday add up to four days. This is like saying “I married a woman yesterday and today I married two” – one of whom is the woman whom he married the day before.
Tafseer al-Baghawi, 7/165
Al-Zajjaaj said: “in four days” means two days added to the previous two days.
Al-Kashshaaf, vol. 3, p. 444
These verses – from Soorah Fussilat – confirm the other verse, which says that the creation of the heavens and the earth was completed in six days. So there is no contradiction concerning the period in which Allaah created the heavens and the earth. There cannot be any such contradictions in the Qur’aan..
hope this answers ur question

Think of Faith as that Jello stuff they make on holidays. you know, that green stuff.
You made that green stuff. Now you feed it to the person you like most.
Faith begins in you and how you use it belongs to you.
