“And the Earth was void, and without form” = millions of years.

From circular reasoning, that's where.

Should we say 6000 years instead? Get real!

We will see that science does not require it

Only in a completely unscientific attempt to shoehorn the geological column into a Young Earth viewpoint is it not required.

Sorry, the Earth being void and without form does not = millions of years.

A day with God is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day. Written long before the concept of millions was conceived.

HE did it, in six thousand or six billion, HE did it.

Yes, we should. There is far more evidence for a young earth, then the millions and billions of years that the Evos keep prattling on about.

There doesn’t seem to be anything in the article that addresses the current estimates of the age of the Earth, or the methodology (uranium decay measurements) by which they are derived.

Well if “whatever” is your attitude, then why not six days!

Actually, the evidence from the Grand Canyon is far more supportive of YEC. Have you looked into it yet?
