The answer is fairly simple, but since you are assuming a fideist approach your view is a bit slippery.
Even though, there are different periods described by geology in the history of the earth, and these delineations are sometimes equated by theists as days of creation these delineations are not clear and distinct. Evolution is in reality a continuum of change in morphology and genetic relationships, and not distinct periods of time and species. The other issue is that the known scientific history of life on earth, also the known history of the solar system and cosmos do not in any way have any correlation to the days of Creation as described in Genesis.
There are other issues in the history of Christianity, Creationism, and science. The issue is trying over time to Monday morning quarterbacking and trying to shoe horn Biblical Creation into science.
