Thanks for the link.

From what I gather, Schroeder is telling us there is much more to those biblical passages. He views the scientific evidence concerning the age of the earth as perfectly valid. Genesis (“6000 years”) cannot be interpreted in a strict literal sense.

This isn’t the "typical" YEC view correct?

To put it another way, I don’t think the folks at ICR and AiG wouldn’t accept Schroeder’s point of view.

Thank you so much for your post!

Indeed! Schroeder and I see it pretty much the same way. The time since Adam is roughly 6000 years, and the days before Adam are from God's perspective - which is roughly 15.75 billion years from our perspective.

My "take" is from a Christian point of view and also uses New Testament Scriptures to examine Genesis --- and thus we differ just a tad on the details. Mine is explained here: Freeper Views on Origins

Indeed! The way Schroeder (and I) view creation is not in conflict with science.
