The Jewish concept of God would work with the universe as we understand equally as well as the universe as they understood it back then. No God of the gaps involved if the Bible never had anything to do with science.So, if you don't reference the bible for any scientific information, you'd have no problem believing the universe is ~14byo, or the earth is ~5byo, or that evolution can occur, or that a world wide flood is impossible and that story was just an allegory, etc etc?
I'm asking this legitimately, since there are Christians who believe the bible is the word of God and follow it, but have no issues accepting the above as scientific facts.
