Exactly. God created the universe around 14 billion years ago, as all of the available evidence tells us. To believe, despite the evidence, that the whole universe was created only 6,000 years ago is to believe that God lies to us--and I do not believe that. When people speak of the Prince of Lies, they are *not* talking of God.
He never says he created it billions of years ago. That is man attempting to place an age on the universe independently of God.
He has already told us sufficient information to perform every good work He has Planned from eternity past.
No need to read into Scripture what we think it means. Simply understand what He provides.
The wise scientist would investigate origins from the perspective that His Word is infallible.
