I am then brought back to other thoughts:
1. According to the Genesis 1 account of creation it says that God said and then saw...what makes us think that there are great time periods between those two events? If we take Jesus' ministry He too said and saw and in most every event it was immediately or within the same hour.
2. According to Rom 5:12 death entered the world through Adam's sin. If Paul was truly writing by unction of the Holy Spirit, then there would have been no death prior to that. According to science their was a lot of death...in fact most put the Dinosaurs pre-adam which would make Rom 5:12 wrong.
3. What would give us any idea that the time period that God used was different than the time period that God set up? We can use the scripture that a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day, but it does not say it in a definitive way. The scripture says "as a" in other words, God doesn't operate by a clock as we know it, but that being said doesn't deny the fact that there are 24 hours in a day it's just that God's perspective is beyond the time limitations we know.

Distance measurements.... Levels of Helium 3 isotope in our own Sun (which makes it a 2nd generation star).... And yes, several types of radiometric dating (NOT carbon dating since that is only accurate to about 50 thousand years and then in only specific instances). And this isn't eve taking into account dating that our own Earth provides using tectonics, geological and magnetic field fluctuations. For instance there are several large mass-extinction craters from asteroid impacts. When could these have taken place in a 6-7 thousand year period?
Simply put, ALL the evidence has to be twisted and crammed into a Young Earth/Young Universe model to make it "sorta" work -if standing on your head, looking in a mirror, while suffering from the flu.
