I think Gerald Schroeder nailed it with his time dilation observations.

I have nearly worn my copy of Schroeder out! :-) He and I are in close agreement -- until he gets into the numerology bit using Hebrew letters.
But, on relativistic time, we're pretty much in lockstep...

As both a scientist and a believer, my take is that Scripture is correct and true!
When we find Scripture to be in apparent disagreement with observed reality, it must be our interpretation of Scripture that is at fault. That's why I work continually, testing and seeking ways to refine my own interpretation of God's Word.
However, that effort also includes taking into consideration the conditions under which Scripture was revealed and recorded -- including the levels of language and knowledge (and aids to observation) available at the time.
That's why I don't expect Genesis to be a complete science textbook -- and, why I ask odd questions like, "How many Galaxies could Moses see?" -- which leads to my acceptance of the fact that Scripture doesn't mention the billions of galaxies that we can see with the Hubble Space Telescope. The same applies to things like fossils... Scripture doesn't mention them, but, they are undeniably here.
It is up to us -- in good faith and with much prayer -- to make sure our interpretation does not dishonor God by either ignoring the facts of his Creation or disregarding what was recorded for us as revealed by Him.
I'm not interested in "proving" anything to anyone! But, although I am beginning my 79th orbit about our local thermonuclesr source of heat & light, I still feel compelled by His calling of me as a scientist to do whatever I can -- to understand and share the story of His Creation that he provided for us through both His Creation and His Word..
A significant part of that effort is seeking to learn about and considering the insights He has given other mature believers -- even here on FR!
Thank you for sharing your insight about Schroeder!
