Given that time is measured relative to the rotation of the earth around its axis, on a daily basis, or about the sun, on an annual basis, which came first: the 7 days of creation, at 24 hours each presumably, or the time frame in which the creation could occur?
If the latter, did God create the timeframe before creating everything else, and if so, where was it once he had created it, and by reference to what did it exist? Was he just passing time until he came up with The Great Idea we all here and now so, obviously, enjoy?

I would say creation came first. Because time day hour was for man to keep track. And earth was made before man.

Time is not an actual thing but only a conceived notion to explain the order of occurring events. Never the less if time has an actual reference in any real terms it would be measured against C the speed of light at which point the progression of events cease.

God created the Universe way too long before he created Man!! so time framed started when God organized the earth and man become a living thing

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth..." That gives us our date right there. Time, like space, is a dimension. It would be the first thing God fashioned. I just have no further idea how it works :).

The story is fiction. Space and time began simultaneously with the big bang, some 13.7 billion years ago. Earth formed nine billion years later.

. Almost all the names of days of the week are rooted in ancient Roman mythology, often filtered through Germanic languages (especially Old Norse) and customs. Sunday, for instance, was named in tribute to the Sun, and known to the Romans as "dies solis" (Day of the Sun). The Old English translation of the Latin phrase was "Sunnandaeg," which eventually evolved into our modern "Sunday." Days of the week, incidentally, were not usually capitalized until the 17th century. If you're going to have a "Sun Day," you pretty much have to have a "Moon Day," and the Old English "Monandaeg" meant just that. By about 1200 we were dreading "Monedaei" morning, and eventually we settled on "Monday." Tuesday was named in tribute to the Germanic god Tiu, who was in charge of war and the sky. The Romans had called Tuesday "Dies Martis," after Mars, the Roman god of war, and the French word for Tuesday is still "Mardi" (as in the New Orleans festival of Mardi Gras, which means "Fat Tuesday"). Wednesday was known to the Romans as "Dies Mercurii" in tribute to the god Mercury. The Germanic tribes of Europe substituted their god Woden (or Odin, in Norse mythology), giving us the Old English "Wodnesdaeg," and we've been stuck trying to spell "Wednesday" ever since. Thursday followed the same pattern. The Romans called it "Dies Iovis," after Jove, their god of thunder, but when those Germanic folk got hold of it, they renamed it after their thunder dude, Thor. The Old English "Thunraesdaeg" eventually became out modern "Thursday." Friday was known to the Romans as "Dies Veneris" after Venus, the Roman god of love. The Norse god Frigg (who just happened to be Odin's wife) was substituted, giving us the Old English "Frigedaeg," and, eventually, "Friday." And, lastly, Saturday was (and still is) named in tribute to the Roman god Saturn.

We live in micro time. The universe's time is called entropy.
