Creation Day 2: 6 Days of Creation or 13.8 Billion Years?
The biblical text shows us in Genesis 1 that the soul of Adam (the first human) was created by God five and a half days after creation. That is a half day before the termination of the sixth day of creation . At that moment the cosmic calendar ceases and an earth-based calendar starts.
How would we see those days stretched by 900,000,000,000 ? Five and a half days times 900 billion gives us about five million million days. Dividing that by 365 days in a year comes out to be 13.7 billion years. NASA gives a value of just under 14 billion years. Considering the many approximations, and that the Bible works with only six periods of time, the agreement to within a few percent is extraordinary. The universe is billions of years old, but from the biblical perspective those billions of years compress into six, 24 hour days.
