Can we wedge millions/billions of yearsbetween each day of creation?
“In six billion years God created…”?

“But, beloved, do not forget this onething, that with the Lord one day is

Is man separated from the“beginning of the universe” by
billions of years?
Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7
Can we insert the billions of years neededto accommodate the evolutionary timetable
after the Creation week?
Even evolutionists would not placethe billions of years needed fortheir theory after the arrival ofman.
MAN AND THE AGEOF THE EARTH
• Mark 10:6• Romans 1:20: “For since the creation of the
world His invisible attributes are clearly seen,being understood by the things that are made.”
• Earth is exactly 5 literal, 24-days olderthan Mankind
AGE OF MANKINDAGE OF MANKIND• Present to Jesus 2,000 years
• Jesus to Abraham 2,000 years (55 generations)
• Abraham to Adam _____years (20 generations)
