Nevermind in the Bible where it says God “created” that wasn't literal. The universe always existed.
Nevermind in the Bible where it says Gods ways are not our ways, YOU know perfectly well the mind of God and align your acceptance or rejection of scientific theory upon your ‘understanding’.
Your ‘proposal’ raises a “conundrum” right from its DIRECT contradiction of the VERY FIRST LINE of the Bible.
Amusing!
Yeah there was. Of OUR planet, solar system, and local environment and LIVING world, and it was more like the Bible's version of time ago. But not of the entire universe, and not of things like time, and distance. The idea of those things coming about for the first time ever in some sort of a big bang 17B years ago is junk physics.
