I think this last statement will be looked at as common sense by 99% of the users here. I'm not saying that makes it true, because everyone is entitled to their opinion. But even my mom will never say God wrote Exodus 31 or Exodus 20, because she's quite certain those words were written by men, as am I.
It's even more interesting you bring the word theological into the conversation, because my mom (oh, she'll be delighted to have been discussed about on a risk-forum, lol) actually studied theology on the university of Amsterdam and delivered a masterpiece of a thesis for which she got a 9.8 from her professors. My mom is aware of the beautiful aspects all religions have, but also aware of the nasty side effects it can have on society, something she's still voluntary trying to put a stop on, using a motto like: "everyone can believe, everyone can live, everyone can enjoy, together."
Long story short, just because the Bible implicates that 1 day is 1 rotation around the earth, doesn't necesarrily mean that God sees it way, just that humans put it in words like that, because it makes it simpler for us to understand.
