errr....actually in genesis in the bible (which is common to jews, christians & muslims), the 7 days is symbolic of a large time span, not human days - creation starts with life in water, then fishes, then beasts of the earth, then birds of the air & ends with man on the 6th day....also very similar to the hindoo text & evolution.

also man is originally made as a pure vegetarian in the bible.
Genisis 1:29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30

in reality all religions now existing - jews, christianity, islam, hindoos, buddhism all originated in mesopotamia where the first civilization arose in 7000 BC and spread to the west & east.
the are interpreted differently by various prophets but the origin is the same.
