The whole moronic thing is at Creation Time Line (Relating Scripture and Science).
The matrix below provides a detailed comparison of scripture to science. Through this, the following basic principles are used to understand the intent of the creation story:
1.) The days in this are taken to be interpreted as “age” or to be metaphor for a long period of time. There is extensive biblical support for this position. (See Old Earth Support)
2.) The vantage point is from the surface of the Earth. This is just how a man would see things unfold if he was standing by watching it all happen.
3.) The descriptions are generalizations not covering every detail. In this short account, every aspect of Earth history could not be covered. Only things that would have been understandable to all generations are mentioned. The long line of ancient people had no knowledge of science and would have not understood a more detailed scientific report.
4.) There is much to learn in our generation with science providing a parallel account of creation. “The heavens declare the glory of God...” Ps 19:1 (NKJ) Science provides a window to the physical events, but does not include the supernatural. We only get a complete understanding of creation by including both the spiritual view from scripture and the physical view from science. From scripture we see that it was God who made everything, through science we see how He made it happen.
