@The_Reader_David - I see I forgot to thank you for your link. My apologies. It is fascinating, even on a skim read (Hey, blame Matchett-PI, he dropped an addictive blog on me!)

@Matchett-PI - Once more, thank you! One of the reasons I am doing this is there is such a close correlation between Genesis and what we think we know.
To risk some ire from people, Genesis 1 is the way you would explain our modern creation understanding to a 4 year old.
Not disrepecting the Word, but I think of it as trying to explain TV or nuclear fusion to William Shakespeare. He wouldn’t have the concepts to begin to comprehend. Explain long enough, he’ll get the idea, then put it into words of beauty.

So, I take it you refuse to read either my own points or the article I linked out of either fear or some goofy "principal."

Anyone who can accept the literal lifespans in Genesis 1-11 as you claim to do can accept the first three chapters of Genesis as theology/history. Contemporary science has no more business pontificating on cosmogony than it does on what is in Heaven.
