I’m curious. Since you apparently disregard Exodus 20:11 that says God created the heavens and the earth in the 6 day time frame, and since you reject evolution and the big bang, what do you gain by putting time between vs 2 and 3?
“I’m curious.”
A good quality.

I agree wholeheartedly with Exodus 20:11 and a 6 day creation. I just believe
“and since you reject evolution and the big bang, what do you gain by putting time between vs 2 and 3?”
Truth is always its own reward. When we come to God’s Word, we want to know what it says and what it means by what it says. This view, in my opinion, not only matches the language and structure God inspired, it appears to better match many facts in creation.
That said, I am not posting to convince anyone that this view is the only correct view. You can certainly trust Christ and have eternal life, whatever you believe about the specifics here.
I posted to demonstrate that the argument in the article that began this thread was false. Many Christians hold a different view that in their opinion better fits the totality of Scripture.
This sentence was eclipsed - perhaps billions of years ago! Sorry.
“I just believe the 6 day creation starts in verse 3.”
