I never stated that I knew the exact "age" of the Earth. As mentioned by others on this thread, the whole question of time and "age" takes on a different meaning in the light of God's eternal perspective, and very likely also during the time of Creation.

What is not negotiable is for Christians to confess God as Creator. My question for you, then, is whether you can wholeheartedly affirm the Apostles Creed (confessed by Catholics and Episcopalians during worship), which states: "I believe in God the Father, maker of heaven and earth..."

OK so you don’t believe in the literal translation and interpretation of the Bible then.

Remember, Genisis was written by man, not God himself. To man, the “day” is and always has been quite clear.

Absolutely. I never said or implied I believe otherwise. There is no other logical explaination. I don’t even believe in evolution. I believe spieces can change physical characteristics over time, but not actually morph into other species (monkey to man eg.)
