So do you also believe the genealogy from Adam through Noah to Abraham that suggests 6000 years?
How about the 6 days of creation story?
Drich believes that Adam may have been in the Garden of Eden for billions of years while the Earth was evolving. Is that how you see it?
As far as creation goes the bible states that
Quote:Genesis 1How long it took to create the heavens (universe) and earth are not specified, the 6 days (which would be 6000 years according to us, since 1000 years is one day to God) refer explicitly to God shaping and placing life on the earth.
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
As far as Adam and Eve existing for billions of years, the bible isn't clear, but i suppose it's possible for the fact that time/death didn't exist for them until they partook of the "forbidden fruit", and no mention is made of how much time passed between their creation and the original sin.
The thing is, were not required to try to explain everything about the bible, Just believe it.

Grace supersedes the law. The law never existed until Moses, What law did Abraham live under? The law was given as an example to show that you can't get to heaven by just being a "good person" because everyone transgressed the law.
