No, I think that the "six days" mentioned in the Bible are more properly
thought of as six creative periods each of which is of indeterminate
length. Each of those "days" could easily have been tens of millions or
hundreds of millions of years long or even longer. But if I do not know
exactly how long the earth was forming before mankind came on the scene,
I highly suspect that the scientific community doesn't either. Just
during my own lifetime they have repeatedly changed their estimates
almost always claiming that the earth is much older than the last time
they pretended to know. They obviously haven't got a clue. --JWR
I've been hearing the same estimate for the past 20 years, actually.
The first life found on Earth, now, that gets pushed back now and again
as more fossils are discovered.
