..."We are not given data to determine how many eons elapsed between the beginning the Word started and when Adam was created."...

The Bible is very specific that there was 24 hrs between the creation of the beasts and the creation of man. There is no reference to the "eons" you say are there. There is not even a reason given for this fictitious time period. It's something you are imagining.

When Jesus was teaching His Apostles, He never mentioned "Hey, you know all that Genesis stuff, well we actually had untold millennia between the 5th day and the 6th day. Oh, and you all came from monkeys. I just couldn't tell you the truth because you are too stupid to understand what I told Moses."

Now you are on ignore. Do you know what we call someone who puts spurious words onto others, in an effort to squelch their participation? Your picture should be right next to the dictionary entry. Bye bye, closed-minded bully.

The Bible is figurative. The interval of which you speak was not a literal 24 hours.

Elsewhere in the Bible, the quantity known as pi is calculated to be exactly 3. Is that literally true?

There was no death before sin. That means a literal creation week (6 days). That also means no eons, no billions of years, no monkeys evolving into humans, no single cell organisms living, then dying, etc... The word of God clearly states that the earth was created in 6 literal days. No death before Adam and Eve sinned.

Again, you are correct.

If you are privy to the millions of things Jesus told His apostles that were not written down please share where we can find them.

And many try to insert very long periods of time for each creation day. God created the plants on the 3rd day, but the sun on the 4th day. How could those plants have continued to live for years before the sun was created?
