Evolution is an ongoing process, it hasn't stopped, so however you define one these so called 'days' your statement is incorrect. Genesis describes a finite creation period, evolution is infinite.

Evolution isn't about all animals other than humans.

why not .. its our belief we were created in the image of god, not the other way round.
[c] not sure what you mean,
I mean that the theory of evolution isn't a theory that somehow applies to all animals other than humans - it applies to humans too since we are also animals.
It's logically inconsistent to suggest that evolution is valid for the rest of life, but not humans. It's also completely inconsistent with the evidence.
