RE: Were the seven days of creation in Genesis seven twenty four hour periods? - Some conclusions
I do think that the Bible indeed uses much numerology and symbolisms. Also I find it interesting that the days are name after heavenly bodies or gods.
1st day = Sunday = Domingo = Day of Sun
2nd day = Monday = Lunes = Day of Moon
3rd day = Tuesday = Marte = Day of Mars
4th day = Wednesday = Miércoles = Day of Mercury
5th day = Thursday = Jueves = Day of Jupiter
6th day = Friday = Viernes = Day of Venus
7th day = Saturday = Sábado= Day of Saturn
Month = Moon cycle.
Months are out of order in my opinion.
September = Septiembre = Siete = Seven = 7
October = Octubre = Ocho = Eight = 8
November = Noviembre = Nueve = Nine = 9
December = Diciembre = Decimal = Diez = Ten = 10 
The names we have these days came to us via the Romans, July comes to us thanks to Julius Caesar and August thanks to Augustus Cesar. There was the Julian calendar etc. and a semblance of standardization only set in with the Gregorian calendar.
Since days, weeks, months etc. are measurements of time it is only natural for them to be named after the heavenly bodies and cycles by which we measure time.
Genesis one stipulates they were provided to mankind not only for light but also for "signs and for seasons"
