That's why we have old and young earth creationists.. That's why you lot can't agree on the basics of your religion, that's why we atheists are so confused about what all the fuss is about.
The Bible is not a science book. It is not intended to give these sorts of details. These details were discovered by science.
Good on you. On this much we can agree.

How do you know what the bible was intended to do? Are you God?
Perhaps he is a cognitive objectivist theist? Just trying out some new terminology. (Yeah, I don't know what I mean exactly either.)

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.
But do you believe that human beings share common ancestry with chimps, mice and fish? Do you believe in a figurative 'Adam'?
