Hi, According to the manuscripts, we don't know exactly; it could have been days as we understand days, or it could have been hours. The fact is, that when you read in Genesis 1, you ARE NOT reading of the first creation of the earth, but the refurbishing or rejuventating of the earth, after the destruction of the last earth age, so as to make it again habitable for life, in this case, flesh life.
The manuscripts are clear that there are three earth ages: one that was, one that is, and the final age that will be coming when Christ returns, called the eternal age.
The first creation of the earth was eons and eons ago. Of course, I am sure you already know that, since we find fossils dating thousands of years ago. Not only is this earth eons old, but so are we.

it's important to keep in mind though that while it was 6 days in God's time it may have neccesarily been 6 days in our time.
