Thanks for clarifying!
Here's a good site for correlating The Bible and Geology-
www.kjvbible.org...
Rightly-Dividing Geology and the Book of Genesis Beyond
the "Gap Theory" of Creationism
If you or someone you know are confused by claims that the earth is only 6,000 years old, then you have come to the right website. Many people
think the six creation days in Genesis are a description of the Earth's geologic history. They are not! The geologic record shows that the Earth
existed long before the six days and long before Adam. There is a time-gap between the first two verses of Genesis.
On this website you will learn about a controversial, lesser known literal interpretation of the Genesis narrative that does not contradict the
scientific evidence for an Old Earth. Commonly called the "Gap Theory" or Ruin-Reconstruction interpretation, it is a theological interpretation
much older than Darwin's Theory of Evolution. It is based on the Scriptural fact that in the second verse of Genesis, the Holy Bible simply and
clearly states that the planet Earth was already here (but in a ruined state) before the Divine process described in those six days even begins.
Understanding this Biblical mystery begins with the precise wording of this New Testament cross-reference:
"For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in
store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men."
(2 Pet 3:5-7 KJV)
