I don’t hold God in a prison of time. Time is his creation.
From His perspective it took 7 days. From our perspective it was 4.6 billion years. The longer I’m aware of that the easier it is to accept.
Before Abraham was He Is. And -
He is in the universe 16 billion years ago.
He is at the genesis of the Earth 4.6 billion years ago.
He is in the world right now.
Only if our understanding of radiometric dating is correct. Since we have no observation for anything more than a couple of hundred years, they are all speculation and based upon incomplete data. In other words, they are guessing. The law of entropy states that an isolated system in a given state will get to a more probable state, until it reaches thermodynamic equilibrium. Basically saying warm stuff gets cold. 4.6 billion years would have expired all thermodynamic energy and our planet would have been long dead some time ago.
God did indeed create time, but He also gave us an understanding of that creation, how to measure it and how to define it. When God says He did something in a day and uses the same word to describe a 24-hour period, then I take Him at His word. There are those in the faith that subscribe to a young Earth theory but I do not as the 6,000 year attestation came from an account where the analyst could only account for 6,000 years. That does not mean we do not have a longer history, but I certainly do not subscribe to a 4.6 billion year old Earth either.
