I can live with the fact that I don’t know how long one of God’s days were.

Works for me.

For all I know his first day was 1 billion years for us.

And also Eden was not the entire Earth, if so, where could Adam and Eve go? FWIW, it could be anything from a temporary ranch to some kind of spacecraft. I can’t say I know.

If one of God’s creation days equals one billion years to us, then how long do you suppose it will take Him to create a new heaven and a new earth as promised in Revelation? Where was evolution in the resurrection or any of Jesus’ miracles or the Apostles miracles. In the miracles in the OT?

If God will raise the living and dead, how will evolution factor in? It seems to me that God either transcends the laws of nature, as their Creator, or He is bound by them, in which case all of the above would be impossible.

“I can live with the fact that I don’t know how long one of God’s days were.Works for me.For all I know his first day was 1 billion years for us.”

That's a scientific problem, if one is to believe the biblical version of creation. According to Genesis, God created the Sun on the 4th day.

But plants were (supposedly) made on the third day before there was a sun to drive their photosynthetic processes. Genesis (1:14-19). 1:11
Seems kinda bass-akwards to create plants before setting the solar system was set into place. But that's Bible science for you, questions about creation has almost always gotten skeptics branded as heretics.
