“The Bible was never intended to be a scientific journal”
True, but it not a lie, either.
The Bible states clearly that God created the entire universe and all it contains in six days, and all very good. While no mathematical or scientific calculations are presented, the truth is presented.
To deny this is to deny that the Bible is true.
How long was a “day” prior to the existence of an Earth?
God will laugh at you.
God does not care how what we believe, about how life began.
God only cares about how we live our individual lives.
