God does live here on earth. He lives everywhere. If you're referring to the days of creation, they are days God related from Moses perspective when narrating the timeline of creation.
-
The Creation account is written from an earthly perspective, so 'and there was evening and there was morning, the first day' refers to what would be observed from an earthly, not heavenly, viewpoint. When God said 'Let there be light', He meant, 'let there be light on earth' not 'let light come into existence generally'
-
Why would God frame the timeline of Creation in days if the day that He is referring to is not consistent with the 24 hour day on earth? What would be the point?

LOL The calendar is man-made!!! :D

Who says he does. God lives outside of time.

Oh man there are so many things wrong with that question! I don't know if I'll be able to address them all. God walked the Earth in the Old Testament and spoke One on one with people in the Old Testament(Abraham, Enoch, and Noah for example). God is omnipresent. God sees all. His Throne is in heaven. Psalm 11:4 "The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD is on His heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; His eyes examine them". Psalm 33:13 "From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;". God is not bound by time. Not only that, time is not bound by minutes, seconds, or hours, clocks are. Psalm 90:4 "For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night". 2 Peter 3:8 "But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day".

Perhaps because it is all a story...?

well god's world and our world is different he does not live in time and he does not have flesh god made the world very different from his, we have time and he does not if we did not sin we would lived 4ever in time.

Hours were not mentioned in Genesis. Perhaps the earth was not rotating then? Or rotated "differently". Man invented hours, anyway. There is only one reference to "hour" in the Old Testament - in Ecclesiastes, and that might be a translation decision; it looks like "moment" might also work.
