Never

It would seem like if you actually read Bible, you'd already know your perception of time is meaningless.

2 Peter 3:8-9

8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

Psalm 90:4

4 For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.

Human time is just a technological innovation that allows us to keep track of our own perspective in our existence. Time isn't a constraint for God.

The "day" you read is an English translation of the Hebrew יוֹם (yom) which can have a number of different meanings referring to a period of time. That might be short like 12 hours or it might be an entire age up until this day which might span millions of years. It not mean't to mean a modern 24 hour day, but it can be used in that way.

The problem atheists run into is that they have an overall ignorance on the subject matter. Thus they form their arguments based on assumptions. Not knowing that the Torah was written in Hebrew or the overall context of the Bible, they assume the English translation of the Hebrew יוֹם (yom) means "day" as they know it in the modern era from period of light to light due to illumination of the sun from a single rotation of the planet Earth on it's axis. Yet if they knew the Bible in more detail, they would already know that Gods time is different than our time, that Jesus (The Word) is the "light of the world" and by him all things were created. So by the very act of Jesus creating, "light" is present. So if Jesus works for one period of time to create, then "light" is there for that entire period. Atheists say, you see both the English word day and the Hebrew יוֹם (yom) are time periods, and both day and יוֹם (yom) have light, therefore both day and יוֹם (yom) are equivilant! Ah ha! I am a genius! There is no way all this could happen in 24 hours according to modern science! It is flawless! All the while they just look retarded because they don't understand the context of what they read...

Another hint at what is going on is Jesus tells you no one is good except God alone. Yet in Genesis the light is "good", so clearly the light is "God". You have the father, the spirit of god and Jesus (The Word/Light of the World) all there at the same time for the act of creation. Trinity. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Yeah, atheist tend to gloss over all the details that are right in plain sight because they have no depth of knowledge on the subject matter and they have very low IQs and can't match the consistent patterns across the Bible.

Why would you presume to an omniscient, omnipotent being who has lived forever to classify a day as 24 Earth hours?

[Asker]

why would you presume an omniscient being needs to write a confusing no literal creation story in an ancient and now dead language that's stunningly primitive

Contentious just laid it out for you.

Sure, when I was a kid raised in the church and my brain wasn’t large enough to process anything bigger than that in regards to how the world was made.
