Well, seems nobody wants to participate in this thread since you basically took it over to promote you flawed, brain dead views.

Nobody In their right mind thinks the Earth is only 6000 years old. So your wrong right out of the box. Just like you can't comprehend that creation in 6 days is a metaphor for a much longer timeline when compared to time as humans perceive it.

I feel sorry for you and those you mislead as the true value and knowledge of God's word is lost to a simplistic view when anyone who reads the book for themselves will right away know it is alluding to a higher understanding.

You can stay quagmired in and those of us who seek understand will continue to be given the keys to unlock real meaning.
