I agree with Jewish physicist Gerald Schroeder - God's revelation in Scripture and in Creation agree when one considers relativity and the big bang/inflationary model. From the inception of this universe to now, six days have elapsed relative to the inception - though from our space/time coordinates, billions of years have elapsed. The two are not mutually exclusive, they are relative. Or to put it another way, Genesis 1 is written from the Creator's perspective - not the perspective of a creature. In my view, the perspective of Scripture does not change to man's until Adam is banished to mortality.

I hadn't read your comments, before I posted mine, and I've never heard of Gerald Schroeder, but it seems I was thinking the same thing as he!

Indeed! I hope you will continue to investigate his views!

The link to this thread has been posted in crevo debates several times with very little response to it.

Notice the original thread has very little evo participation. What little there is is mostly derision, as expected.

For all the demands by evos to back up Scripture with science, they are clearly not interested in seriously considering the matter.

For me, (physical chemist, born again, creationist -- but not YEC) discovering Schroeder many years ago was one of those genuine, "Aha! So I'm not alone in my comfort with both my science and my religion!!" moments...

I re-read Schroeder from time to time -- to see if his viewpoint has improved even further... ;-} And I recommend his writings...
