How many days weeks or months are in a God-year?
Does everyone think the Creator had a watch and a 365 day/12 month calendar year before the universe(s) exploded and started to expand?

maybe one universe lifespan is one God-year.

Can't speak for others, but I think God wrote the Bible to us, not Himself. So when He says "six days", that's six days as WE understand it.

It's either that, or He wrote something to us that He knew would be misunderstood by us. (But that view doesn't agree with the God I read about in the Bible.)

There are many arguments for accommodationists, but the Creation/Evolution argument fundamentally points to the object of one’s faith.

The evolutionist attempts to justify age in terms of billions of years by using relative metrics, all assuming constants only measurable in our local space and time. Hs argument has no gauge to justify his leap of faith identifying relative deduction as absolute value.

Even radiocarbon dating techniques sloppily hinge upon huge exponential relationships, which easily may be swayed by millions to billions of years depending upon how they are framed.

Provided the dating techniques are consistent, they have local relative value to indicate relative differences in age. i.e. this rock is older than that rock in its present chemistry and structure. They might relatively quantify those differences. e.g. this rock is 1.8887 times as old as that rock.

Identifying the rock as 1.2 billion years old, or any age beyond human history of about 6000 years is prone to error.
