No, I recognize the Bible's authority in this area and I am afraid to mess with that. Just take the Word for what it says. Don't try and make it say the opposite of what some atheist is saying and then call yourself an "apologist" or "defender of the Bible."
That's the pattern in which so many heresies and wacko stuff arises. Ussher ran into that problem during the English Enlightenment and made a fool of himself.
And besides, we obviously haven't "hashed out" the issue if you're still struggling with it.
