PNSN, why don’t you read post #27 and the link I provided there. There is NO conflict between belief in G-d and the current state of our science regarding the age of the universe.
The Bible passages on which you are relying were not written in English, nor in Latin or Aramaic. They were written in Hebrew, and many scholars of the Bible who used that very same Hebrew on a daily basis from a young age, men who lived well over 1,000 years ago, understood that the Biblical explanation of 6 days of Creation was not meant to be taken literally (and you can hardly accuse them of lacking faith).
Frankly, as a person of faith myself, I find that people who stubbornly stick with literal translations of ancient texts written in a language that they don’t fully understand do more of a disservice to G-d than they’d like to admit. That stubbornness, that lack of any willingness to use those tools that G-d Himself gave to us (like eyes and a brain) paints all religious people as being ignorant, closed-minded, etc., and causes many to lose faith and many others (like the NY Times, Newsweek, etc.) to ridicule faith.
See 76 and 105 here.

Not only what you said, but there is simply the issue of language translation and assumptions being made about the meaning of x, when x could mean ten different things.
LOL! You are putting your faith in man - 200,000 books seem to impress you. It takes 200,000 books to unravel ‘some mystery’ and they still come up w/the wrong answer. Man’s logic will never ever understand the supernatural.
Those of you with these ego’s who try and try, again, to disprove what God says...need to know - you aren’t God so get over it already - start humbling yourself.
And there was evening and then morning - the first day. And 200,000 books trying to deceive others to not take it literally. LOL!! Remember - it’s the inspired Word of God and it doesn’t matter what language it was written in. That ‘language tactic’ is old and just a deceptive means to ‘doubt God’s Word. And it worked! It’s no wonder - God says - only a remnant will be saved. God’s Word is true and every man a liar” That’s what happens when they trust in what man says and not God’s Word.
