Rules
Also this doesn’t say anything about the Earth.
Plus you can give a liberal reading of the bible to be:
That doesn’t have to imply the earth is 4000 years old. Even the original wording could be read as eon instead of day.
The Bible is a couple thousand chapters long. The creation story is the first two chapters. It's pretty obviously only attempting to establish that God created the universe in some ambiguous way and move on with the story. That doesn't stop people from inferring all sorts of things from what is essentially a poem.
It's literally a poem in the original language.
Most people don't know that the Hebrew word "yom" (day) can be and is used to denote wildly different lengths of time.
If anyone is interested you can read a fine destruction of the stupid "Young Earth" argument at the link I provided.
The "Young Earth" people, both Christian and Jew, are trying to shoe horn something into the Bible that doesn't fit and doesn't need to exist. It's nothing more than a desperate attempt to hold onto an old, wrong headed, and man-made theory.
Simple answers for simple minds
The original wording can't be read as eon instead of a day because plants and trees could't last for an eon before the sun was created.
