I could not help but see this very interesting conversation. We are having one just like it at "heaven and earth"thread. I am glad that there is finally somone questioning the young earth motif in this apostolic setting.
I personally do not believe that Genesis1 is a literal rendering of Creation. It is prophetic/Covenantal. Look at
Genesis 2:1-4 that is the summary of the creation of heaven and earth. The content of the passages point to the creation of:
1. hosts (multitudes,armies)
2. Generations (birthings,people)
Heaven and earth are Gods covenant people.
The same writer (Moses) who penned, in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Also adressed Israel and said
eu 32:1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
I think he knew what he was doing.

You just might be surprised at what you find.
Our new book entitled,"The Prophecy of Genesis 1," is under construction but we will issue its chapters as they are completed. It is a huge project and will take some time to complete, therefore we will release the 7th chapter for your perusal. It is entitled,"All things were Created by Him."
