Abstract

A Debilitating Conflict Resolved. The account of Creation and the scientifically determined pre-geologic, geologic, and “evolution” timelines regarding the development of the universe, the Earth and life upon it, fuse. What Scriptures say happened on each of the six “days” of Creation precisely parallels that which scientists have determined to have occurred during the universe’s 13.7-billionyears of existence and Earth’s 4.7-billion-year development. The concrete connection between the two serves the religious interest as it validates the Intelligent Design belief. It serves the secular interest of helping Biblical Literalists to advance in their attainment of scientific knowledge as it provides evidence that the universe, the earth, and life upon it, were not created less than 10,000 years ago in six literal 24-hour periods.
