But still created with the garden and all that. Which amounts to the same.
Not the same at all. The bible simply states that "in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. End of sentence.
There is no mention of how long the earth has been around before God began seeding it with life, and even then the term"replenish the earth" is used, so who knows?
