A literal interpretation of Genesis is inconsistent the observation of God's Creation

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, "Who is this that darkens counsel. By words without knowledge? Now gird up your loins like a man, And I will ask you, and you instruct Me! Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding, Who set its measurements? Since you know."

God reveals his handiwork in His Creation. Job didn't have the ability and insight to see what we can see today. We can only go by what God set in the foundations of our world and universe. that does not deny God, but reveals more of His Glory. Or do you believe God will make our world one way, but desribe it differently? Then it is our interpretation of Scripture, which was written by Man, a fallen, sinful being, that needs to be revised. I cannot believe people would limit God in what he can do. No where in Scripture does it say how old the world is, nor how it was made. We can only look a the evidence God gave us and that says God has been doing a lot of work, for billions of years, before we were here.
