I guess today I am other. In the past I believed in a young earth and everything was created in 6 days(24 hour days).
I believe God designed and created everything in this universe. I think a gap theory is possible. As far as the days I have heard people say (a day with the Lord is a thousand years). I take this saying figuratively. I don't think that a 24 hour period is a literal 1000 year period that stops at midnight at the end of the 1000 years. I don't think it was intended to be taken literal like that anyway.
After finding new archeological evidence and gaining a greater understanding of our planet, is what helped me change my mind. I now believe that God created the universe. There is a gap that is not mentioned. I am guessing at this point. God created another race. This race fell, didn't please God or something. God destroyed them (God did this with the flood, so it is not out of his character) and started over with humans in the Garden of Eden. The new race was humans and the first humans were Adam and Eve. Pretty simple.

Old earth. It's obvious that species change and adapt, but that doesn't mean that they all started out as the same thing. Even humans change over time, but I believe God made them as humans.
I believe the bible. I believe it is the unadulterated word of God. It is literal.
I believe that Time itself was not created until day 4 because THE BIBLE SAYS SO. So everything God created, including Earth....which pre-existed creation itself was created IN ETERNITY.
Therefore it is impossible to tag the word "day" used to delineate each day of creation to a 24 hour clock is simply unbiblical.
The bible itself says the The Earth was without form and void. The bible does not say one thing about why that was the case or what came before. Because the bible is/was written for humanity to guide us to God... NOT to give us a scientific/anthropological understanding of the history of God or of Earth.

I chose other because although I believe in a literal creation week, biogenesis, no macroevolution of species, I allow for the possibility of an unspecified time between Adam's creation and his expulsion from the garden, a possible unspecified amount of time between the 6th day creation of homo sapiens and the Adam who was placed in the garden, and a possible gap of unknown duration between Gen 1:1 and 1:2.
A six day creationist with allowances for a gap and unspecified time between Adam's creation and his expulsion from the garden.

The very existence of three previous DAYS requires time to exist during those days. While the celestial clock had not been created yet, there was still "time".
Just because a person doesn't have a clock doesn't mean time isn't in existence.
My soul followeth hard after thee....Love one another with a pure heart fervently.
