That’s pretty reasonable. There are a handful of things which prevent me from being a 6K-year-Earth style literal creationist, including Venus which is ballpark for a 6K year age estimate and does not resemble Earth or Mars at all, and the neanderthal which I would GUESS was some sort of a proto-human lord of some previous creation, prior to Adam and Eve. Like I say, without a time machine, all anybody could do with that sort of thing is guess.
Well said. One 20th c translation of the Bible shows no definite article in the first sentence, i.e., “In a beginning” instead of the usual “in the beginning”.
