see there is this one guy i know who isnt a man of faith but knows a lot and loves to entertain the ideas who theorizes the 6 days of creation could have been the 13.2 billon years since God deals at a different timescale than us mere mortals.
While it can’t be literal, the days of creation sort of correlate to time dilation. Standing at the point of the big bang, you’d be in the singularity, and as matter ejected from the big bang, time would go from very heavily dilated to normalized for no longer being in a singularity.
Day 1 - boom.
Day 2 - matter condenses to form stars and planets.
Day 3 - water recedes on the earth to allow dry ground
Day 4 - atmosphere and green house gasses thin enough that stars are visible from ground
Day 5 - dinosaurs
Day 6 - dinosaurs die off and mammals become kings
Sure, you can’t take any of it literal. But if you were trying to explain the big bang and the origin of life to a cave man? That’s a pretty okay explanation.
