Re: Re Timeline

He only wishes to discuss a Bible timeline of around 6000 years by the generations of Adam.
When no one has any idea when Genesis 1:1 took place. Or at least no one that I have ever asked yet.
  —ICANT
It doesn't matter when Genesis 1:1 took place. There was no light until the first day. The subsequent 5 days were used to create the things we see on Earth and in the sky.
quote:
The timeline that is always discussed is the one of the man created in Genesis 1:27 by following his generations which may or may not be complete.
All we have of the genealogies is what is written in the Bible and that shows approximately 6000 years from Adam to us. If the stars were made 2 days before that, so what? Effectively, our universe was created 6000 years ago, by a literal reading of the Bible.
Is there something in your argument that I am missing?
