That is probably the best description.
Which is surprising when it's meant to be words from the omniscient.
Definitely not.You don't think Big Bang began with a big flash of light?
It's a well established part of the theory that light couldn't travel any distance in the early universe.
It was opaque.
Only later if expanded did light have a chance to travel, we see that today as the cosmic background radiation.
That 6000 years old is rubbish, a parkour trick.Perhaps we're both correct, just as our universe can be both 6000 yrs old and 13 billion years old at the same time depending on how you look at it.
I explained in the other thread it is a pointless trick as you could make it come up with any number you like.
Time inside our universe only has meaning inside the universe. It is a property of the universe itself.
You can't take it out, freeze it and then drop it back in and say "look time moved differently"
Even so, how do you explain human cultures that are more than 6000 years old?
They are pre Adam and Eve.
Of cause the bible could be right and us poor man got the calc wrong and the 7 days of creation actually ended 50,000 years ago.
Wouldn't it be so helpful if this very busy god sent down a memo to clarify some big mistakes that millions of his followers have perpetuated for many hundreds of years.
Hello god, anyone home? When did you take that day off?
Why are kangaroos only in Australia?
How come you reused so much ape DNA in Adam?
