When it comes to the book of Genesis, we need to look at it through a historical lens. We should not be looking at the Creation account from a perspective of comparing it to the views and perspectives of the other world civilizations, but we should be grounding any discussion on the subject of creation in the scientific arena. We can all agree that At the inception of the universe we went from nothing existing to the existence of matter, time, energy, ect. From the stand point of the creation account we need to be reading from a literal interpretation the holy texts. As an example Mark 10:6 states that from the beginning of creation God made them male and female. When we look at Luke's Gospel we see the Oenology of Jesus traced all the way back to Adam, In John 1 we see that Jesus is the word of God and it ties back to Genesis 1 "in the beginning" Based on these passages alone we cant deny there is a definite timeline established from the beginning with Adam down to Christ Jesus our Lord and then history from Christ to Now. The second point to consider is the scientific perspective. One may ask how you can square the idea of the distances and time seen in the cosmos with a young earth view of creation? The answer is that the universe like all of creation on earth was made in a mature state. When you stroll over to the "Answers in Genesis" channel or "Institute for Creation" you will see the facts. Based on math if the earth was as old as evolutionists say there would be a much greater number of people on the planet. Another point of evidence is the fact that the degradation in Human DNA points to mankind being only about 7000 years old. There has been evidence of blood cells and soft tissues found in fossils which would indicate they are not as old as science says. A third item to consider, God says that it was Good on each day. Is death Good? the old universe perspective depends on evolution and natural selection which is a death cycle. This does not align with a commendation of "it was good". Time to get back to the basics of the Bible and let the text speak without trying to deconstruct the faith and reconstruct it in some new fashion
