I'm not much of a science person, or anything like that. I'll be honest, I just kinda skimmed through this thread because it really is a topic that makes my head spin and I have had ENOUGH head spinning this morning with my kids. However, one thing I have not noticed pointed out here is this:
2 Peter 3:8
Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
Psalm 90:4
For in Your sight a thousand years
are but a day that passes,
or a watch of the night.
Our time frame and His are not the same, which leads me to believe that NO MATTER WHAT is ever carbon dated, dug up, "scientifically proven" etc etc etc......... only God knows how old or young the universe and everything in it is and that to spend our lifetime in debates over it is useless.

New International Version
For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ.

If the six days are symbolic, then Exodus 20v11 would make no sense. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
At the end of each day in the creation account it says there was morning and evening. God tells us in plain language, simple and uncomplicated.
At the end of each day in the creation account it says there was morning and evening. God tells us in plain language, simple and uncomplicated.
These aren't points of argument, but in Genesis it is always mentioned as "evening and morning" rather than "morning and evening". Evening precedes morning. As I see it currently, in the cycles of creation, the period without the thing happens before the manifestation of the thing.
And there is no mention of evening and morning on the seventh day. My current assumption is that it's because God's rest is eternal, as He is eternal, and He simply "entered into his rest" as he encourages us to do in Hebrews. So feel free to seek God for his understanding on those topics. And feel free to share what he shows you.
Love in Jesus,

Morning and evening simply mean the end of one phase/era and the beginning of another time period. The length of a 'day' can be anything from a few hours or until the end of an age.

The speed of light in a vacuum is 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second), and in theory nothing can travel faster than light. In miles per hour, light speed is, well, a lot: about 670,616,629 mph. If you could travel at the speed of light, you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in one second.

A star 6000 light years away, simply means it takes traveling the speed of light 6000 years to reach that destination. It is distance away.
Since this thread is about Creation, don't you find it interesting that Evolution is a Religion, it takes a heap of faith the believe that Nothing exploded.
The real Big Bang is God saying, "let there be"
-Thank you.
