A Young Earth Friendly Old Earth Creationism

It’s not helping your argument to feel like you must have a Ph.D to read your Bible correctly or that you have to pick between 5 options in the text but actually the right one is the Ph.D version.

Well, the way @naclhv puts it:

@swamidass

Perhaps my favorite part of all this is that your poor, pious grandma - who just wanted to believe the Bible and didn’t know or care about science - was right all along. The Bible, interpreted at this level of analysis, can be understood exactly how your grandma would have understood it, and she would have been essentially correct.

The technical part just shows it is possible with modern science. The actual reading of Scripture, however, is just a plain literal reading of Genesis.
