@watson,
The biblical day that God spent creating is not necessarily the 24hour
day that we know. The notion of the creation day being a 24 hour period arose
from the King James version and not church history. It has to do with the hebrew
language lacking precise definitions for a time frame, thus the hebrew word
'Yom' can mean 12 hours, 24 hours or a long time period. If you read closely,
you will discover that the 7th doesnt end, it is continuing, God entered a state
of rest (Ps 95, Heb 4).
The biblical account of creation is chronologically in agreement with
evolutionary assertions. It can mean the 6 time frames probably stretch for
billions of years, so the earth is not 6,000 years old, yes, according to the
Bible.
