You might want to bear in mind that the literal interpretation of Genesis used by young earth creationists is the more recent interpretation. The more traditional interpretation is that the six days are allegorical, not literal (because of course God created the universe in an instant). I don't really see any contradiction between Christianity as traditionally understood and a non-literal interpretation of Genesis.
