People tend to approach this Bible/Science debate without even considering how non-linear mathematics, logarithms and exponential calculations play
into the equation.
Science and Religion are both correct depending on which point of reference you choose to use because for example, if we travel through the Universe
at the speed of light for just a short time, once we decide to come back home all our loved ones will have aged beyond recognition. Your point of
reference would have been different from theirs.
Same came be said about Earth
You cannot measure time on a linear scale because if the Big Bang occurred way out there many billions of years ago and if every planet in the
Universe originated from this BigBang then that would suggest that the Universe is still expanding.
If you think about time from the very beginning, the period of instability that occured from that very instantaeous moment of chaos (the initial event
that sparked the BigBang), until the period where time finally began stabilizing (where time finally began taking on linear characteristics, but still
not quite yet truly linear) you would see how both Science and Religion are correct.
First day of creation could have been a Billion years old based on our measurement of time, the second day of creation could have been several hundred
Million years old, the third day of creation could have been a few Million years, and so on.
Time is a parabola, not a straight line
The best analogy I can give is scientific, a simple RC Tiime Constant of Electronics.
During the first Time Constant the capacitor charges to 63% of the total voltage available.
The second Time Constant it continues to charge for another 63% of the remaining 37%, or 86%.
It continues to charge for the remaining 3 time constants where it can be considered fully charged but ideally it will never charge to 100% because it
can't
If you apply 7 time constants, one for each day, instead of the traditional 5 used in Electronics the story of creations makes more sense.
