Cite in the bible where it says this in genesis.

I'll keep asking until you provide a biblical source for your heresy.

Here's a question for you buckwheat.

Since god has a plan for humans what was his original plan before it got fucked up?

His original plan was to account for the fallen angels, demonic spirits, and fallen mankind in the perfect way possible.

Where in Genesis does it say that the universe is 13.7 billion years old and that the god of the bible didn't 'create' the universe in 6 days?

Why does the Bible need to say the universe is 13.7 billion years old rather than just simply saying it was created perfectly in Gen. 1.1? 13.7 billion years is perfect to me. Very patient too.

So he planned for Adam and Eve to eat from the tree and planned for them to fall into sin?

Nice god you've got there Buckwheat.

You said this:

In other words after God created perfectly over 13.7 billion years (Gen. 1.1), the sin of the inhabitants of earth's earliest ages sinned so much, He had to make it desolate and waste (v.2), killing off the dinosuars. But then He restored it summed up by the 6 twenty-four literal days.

The point, which you're either missing or wilfully ignoring, is that you're reading this based off an interpretation of the biblical text, nothing more. You're, in fact,applying retrospective reasoning to the text based on contemporary advances in knowledge that have nothing to do with the bible.

So, for us to consider your interpretation worthy of our time and consideration, you need to demonstrate where in genesis the bible says that the universe is 13.7 billion ~ years old and that god didn't create the universe in 6 days and rest on day 7.

Don't forget that the bible actually says that it was all done in 6 days, meaning not only is your interpretation wrong, it's actually blasphemous and reveals you to be a heretic.

I understand that you don't like my interpretation, but based on the Hebrew wording it is the only sense that makes sense.

I didn't realize that reality was predicated on what makes sense to you. That's surprising.
