I think there is a problem about time between God and us and that happens to intersect at creation. God exists outside of time. Earth exists within time. Explaining the act of creation which occurred within time and without will be impossible to translate. Whenever I look at the discussion of old/young earth I am mindful of God lecturing Job about creation and am reminded to be humble about any interpretation.
God is addressing that to us ... “in time” ... and he expects us to understand it, per 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
When God spoke to Job, it was about things he didn’t understand because they were not given to him to understand. We ARE GIVEN this by God and are thus EXPECTED to understand it, like I pointed out from Timothy.
