    No, it cannot because that would be contradictory.

    Mark 10:6

    Since Genesis 1:1 is part of the first day it cannot.

    I added Mark 10:6 where Jesus mentions this.

    This is nonsense. The sun does not determine evening and morning.

    Not the same Cainan, ". . . And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan: And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died. And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel . . . ." Luke 3:37-38, ". . . Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, Which was the son of Enos, . . ."

    Luke 3:36 ". . . Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, . . ."​

    ". . . But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. . . ." Genesis 1:27, ". . . female created he them. . . ," This truth does not solve the issue. The Sixth day is from the beginning regardless when the beginning was.

    Genesis 1:2, ". . . And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. . . ."

    What kind of foundation is without form and void? Job 38:4-7, ". . . Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? . . ."

    what? The earth rotates, the sun shines continuously , day and night here exists because the earth rotates but this did not occur until the Sun was made so we have to know this evening and morning were different,

    Well if the Sun did not become a star until the first day, when God said, "Let there be light?"

    I suspect copyist error in the Hebrew and redaction to correct the texts to omit all references. It is found in the LXX, and was fully restored in the 5th century LXX.

    Well according to Genesis 1:2 the earth was in darkness. And a solar blast blowing way the debris which caused the Son, Moon and stars form being visible, making them visible by the fourth day. Today the mean velocity of he solar wind takes about four days to reach Earth.

    That makes no sense. And open as opposed to a closed genealogy makes better sense.

    And yet the earth existed. It is part of the original creation as is the heavens.

    This verse is being misused. It was never intended to be used to prove millions of years it simply meant that those who were speaking were trying to speak of things about God for which they had no knowledge. We have knowledge on this issue because it is plain and clear in scripture.

    What is not plain and clear in scripture is this Gap Theory or Ruin-Reconstruction Theory. Its not in scripture and scripture nowhere eludes to it, implies it, or allows for it. It is purely made up out of whole cloth.

    It rules out your idea that there was time before the first day because Adam was there when God created male and female and Jesus says that that is from the beginning. In other words, Adam was there at the beginning of Creation. The days, of course, are 24-hour days because that is the meaning of the word and because we have the genealogies to give us a picture that it is 6000 years from Adam to you.

    It is missing in the OT
    We have an example in Mary's genealogy
    Luk 3:23

    And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed ) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
