How long have the days of the week been in continuous use? For example, 2.8 million days ago (400,000 weeks ago, circa 5650 BC), were there people who called it Thursday (or their tongue equivalent) and there has been a Thursday every seven days since.
Was Genesis 2 ("... so on the seventh day, he rested ...") written after the number of days in a week had been established? Or did the bible set the number of days in a week at seven?

The Bible didn't invent the 7 day work week.
They are set by whatever civilization is dominant and then they may stay on cruise control for centuries.
Judaism is based on the notion of a 6 day work week and a day of rest and other civilizations based it on other reasons and it was all made official with the the big baller Roman Empire.
