So I've officially started reading the Bible cover to cover, taking everything 100% Literally that is there. It is the STORY of God and His children, as written by Him.
e
With that said, the first Literal section is "Six Days of Creation AND the Sabbath."
So...
We are still in Day 6 because we have not yet reached the Sabbath of human existence with God. At least most of us have not YET anyway.
[If you get confused with the idea of Day v. Night as more than 24 hours, go live in Antartica for a "day" or so...]
At NO point in the creation story does it ever mention anything about actually interacting and being with his creation.
He says/writes "Let it Be" and it is so.
and as far as "evolution goes"
"And God said, "Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures and let birds fly above the earth across the dome of the sky. So God created...And God saw that it was good. God blessed them saying Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas [Alan Jackson much? I'm a fool for you...], and let birds multiply on the earth. [end day 5]
So yeah, if you'd like to make the argument that birds came from sea creatures, go for it; they both came from God almost simultaneously.
It is what it is according to the "Revised Standard Edition," consulted by religious scholars of Judaism and Christianity, and declared such by Protestants, Anglican, Roman Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox in 1989 as copyrighted; published in 2008.
