Interesting link and insights. Yom, the Hebrew word translated as days, simply means some period of time indefinite. I don’t see a conflict, although 4000 years seems especially short for human history.
I wonder if something else is at work. The Garden in Eden is a unique place on an earth that was already functioning when Adam arrived.
I also don’t accept the conventional reading of ex nihilo creation. The actual Hebrew doesn’t read that way and Eastern tradition finds the creation of order from chaos a more godly power than simple creation. Order being the key.
I have NO interest in getting into a debate. I would like to point out that the 4K figure is BEFORE CHRIST. Add 2K or so AD to that and you have a fair “ballpark” number.
In CLOSING, I accept what the Scriptures say. I believe it was done, as described, in 6 twenty-four hour days, out of nothing; ex nihilo. If you want to cobble together some concoction of things some unbelieving “experts” said.....knock yourself out. Thanks for the reply.
