So I'll ask you again, what do you base your belief in an old earth upon, and how do you reconcile it with the bible?
I believe Adam and Eve lived about 200,000 - 400,000 years ago in the Middle East. I believe the generations highlighted in the Bible are just that "highlights." I believe after the flood, the dates are more recent.
Believe all you want. Where are the Bible verses to back up your claims?
