yes I am certainly familiar with all these views. I gave the link to Rabbi Kaplan.

Schroeder accepts the view that the universe was created in 6 24 hour days but he tries to reconcile with time dilation. I have a few technical problems with that approach.

The RCA represents Modern orthodoxy. They are entitled to that view but practically all chasidic groups, including Lubavitch and most Yeshivas maintain the traditional view.

And all Jews keep Rosh Hashana and date their wedding documents the same way.

Well then a sub-sect of 25% is hardly all ‘religious Jews’ who would be characterized as believing in a 6,000 year old universe. Neither is it all Christians. So your statement that...

“so you’re saying religious jews and christians should not be allowed to own guns because they don’t worship the latest theories?”(i.e. they think the universe is 6,000 years old) in answer to post #7 (Condor51)

Is only applicable to a small subset of religious Jews and a small subset of religious Christians?

Also acceptance of Scientific theory is not ‘worship’ of those theories. As a believer and a Scientist I worship God, not theories.
