WCF Chapter 4
I. It pleased God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, for the manifestation of the glory of His eternal power, wisdom, and goodness, in the beginning, to create, or make of nothing, the world, and all things therein whether visible or invisible, in the space of six days; and all very good.
Consequently, the denial of literal 6 day creation is unconfessional. It will take a lot to shift me from this position, if the six days of Genesis 1 does not refer to six literal days, then I am not sure that I understand anything.
