The Gospel account to which you allude is a historical account of Jesus saying, "I am the Door." So, within the context, it is understood that He is obviously being figurative concerning being a Door. On the other hand, the Creation account is not where we read of Moses telling this story to people. Rather, it, in itself, is a historical narrative of Creation. | We agree that Genesis is an historic narrative of creation, I do not know why you would think those who question the intended meaning of "day" would think otherwise. And one man's "obvious" is not another man's. The account does have a peculiar structure and does present harmonization difficulties when forced to be read like a logical science text.
