Given that time is relative there is no reason one necessarily has to choose between young earth/old earth. Both could be true simultaneously depending on the perspective of the one recounting the event.

That definitely impossible...One or the other is true...Truth isn't relative...

but yes, you can chose either and still be a Christian...Siding with the Old Earth scenario however, makes you blind to and ignorant of a multitude of OT prophecies concerning the return of Jesus Christ...

But, what ever floats your boat...

"Both could be true": James writes that the double-minded man is unstable in all of his ways (1:8), and Paul writes (Ro 8:6) that to be carnally minded leads to death.

The narrative in Genesis is not "time relative" for it specifically says "evening and morning" in defining the boundaries of each "day". Evening and morning are both events, not relative terms in that the event can take place over the span of "billions of years".

The six day Creation is embedded in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:11) and to say that the Ten Commandments are "relative" shows a profound disregard for the things of God.
