Mankind was created in day six, likely the last thing created in that day. According to this idea, mankind then fell. God, in his mercy is at rest in this day of mankind's fall, but he is working doing one thing: Rescuing fallen mankind.

Despite the arguments listed above, some Christians try and harmonise the biblical account with naturalistic science, usually by interpreting the days to be long periods of time, figurative days, days of revelation of the account, or other explanations.
Some do this by claiming that there was a "[[Gap theory|gap]]" of millions or even billions of years between the events of Gen1:1 and Gen 1:2, into which the billions of years of naturalistic science and the fossils are placed.<ref>[http://www.gospelcenterchurch.org/Gaptheory.html Gap Theory]</ref>
