I concur with Christian here. If we follow the
evening/morning sequence of creation in Genesis then at
the evening of the sixth day God would have terminated
His work of creation and as far as biblical chronology
goes the evening is the beginning of the next day.
Therefore,the eve of the 6th day would be the beginning
of the seventh day. I don't see a problem here. Best,
