“The eons stop at about 6000 years anyway.”
Human existance dates back to the re-creation described in Genesis, about 6,000 years ago, mho. The universe, including the earth, I believe, is much older. There is Biblical support for that thinking, though this is not the thread for that kind of a discussion/argument.
God is infinitely bigger than our finite minds can comprehend.
The Genesis account is of the creation of the universe, for man, and Peter’s prophecy of the end calls for the entire universe to go up in smoke when man is done with it.
I’ll take God’s word for it; he said six days and then he rested.
