” Since the biblical timeline indicates a young earth that’s only about 6,000 years old...”
It doesn’t actually. I use to have people get out a piece of paper and pen and actually write down what was created in the six days period.
The only things that was created were life forms.
Everything else was merely a re-arrangement, as in, “Let the dry land appear,” or the very scientific “gather the dry land into one place” or the super-continent Pangaea.
That is exactly what the Hebrew supports.
