According to Genesis humans and all other land creatures were made on the same day?

24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So God created mankind in his own image,

in the image of God he created them;

male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

So...do you Christians not believe in the words of Genesis or...do you believe humans came to being on the same day as elephants, giraffes, wolves, etc. and all creatures that have long since been extinct? There is no middle ground it seems.

Update:

It is proven that land animals existed, lived and died in the billions of years preceding the first known humans. How does this not conflict with Genesis?

Update 2:

Mom C...Even if the days were thousands of years long it doesn't explain how there are many fossils that are hundreds of millions of years older than us humans.

    As a youthful earth creationist and Christian i can not argue with you indoors the least approximately God arising each element approximately 6,000 years in the previous. You hit the nail on the acceptable! even even although, you need to truly evaluate leaving the Jehovah’s Witness “faith” as they practice themes that for confident contradict the Bible. learn Isaiah 40 4:6. God calls Himself the 1st and the best. Now learn Revelation a million:8. God calls himself the “Alpha and Omega”. So ought to you settle that Jehovah God is the only Alpha and Omega? the only First and extremely final? Now learn Revelation 22:12, 13. We decrease back see “Alpha and Omega”, yet this time (learn Rev. 22:sixteen and Rev 22:20) the Alpha and Omega, the 1st and extremely final are patently JESUS CHRIST! How can this be till Jesus Christ IS God indoors the flesh?! (See additionally Revelation 21:6, a million:17-18). There are as many flaws indoors the Jehovah’s Witness faith as there are indoors the assumption of evolution, my chum. I in simple terms reported easily certainly one of countless. i prefer to advise you detect a sparkling Christian, Bible believing church.
