    Thanks for that

    I don’t see why God must be incompatible with evolution or the Big Bang or really any of science. God created us to be clever, surely that includes using logic and science to learn about the world.

    Personally I’m agnostic and I try not to judge people. I do judge people who dismiss science and decide faith alone is better.

    Also this doesn’t say anything about the Earth.

    Plus you can give a liberal reading of the bible to be:

    1. god created the heaven and the earth. God created the heavenly bodies.
    2. God created the sky - earths atmosphere and climate
    3. God separates oceans - creates continental forms, and plant based life
    4. God creates the moon and sun and stars. This one seems out of order to me… maybe just the earth and solar system stabilize. I don’t know how plants exist without the sun, so maybe it’s microbes or something.
    5. God creates birds and sea creatures. Maybe birds are dinosaurs.
    6. God creates modern land animals, then creates man and woman. That makes sense, mankind is certainly new with only a few hundred thousand years of records before civilization starts.

    That doesn’t have to imply the earth is 4000 years old. Even the original wording could be read as eon instead of day.
