Genesis 1 - In the Beginning God created heaven and earth. He
separated the light from the darkness and He called the light - Day and the
darkness - night. He created Day and Night in very beginning of Creation.
And for those doubters whom He knew would come later, He
described what a Day was - "Evening and morning was the first Day.
Each Day of Creation He reiterated - evening and morning was the
second day, the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day and the six Day. 6
Days of Creation. One day was evening and morning - not millions of years.
And everything produced after its own kind. Read Genesis 1. Man
did not evolve from something - God created Man, full grown. The changes that
take place in man never make him anything less or more than "man".
After the end of each Day of Creation, God looked at what He had
done and each Day, He said it was good. And on the 6th Day, after He had
created man and breathed into his nostrils the Breathe of Life, God said
"it was VERY good."
As a believer, I trust that my God is unlimited in what He can
do. I do not doubt Genesis 1. I've entertained the idea that He could have used
evolution in His plan to create, but I don't buy that any more. It really
doesn't make sense. There's too many things in creation that could not evolve
without having to die before getting the "end result" of a new thing.
If I don't trust God's Word to true, it leaves the door open for
me to not "believe" anything in the Bible that I don't want to be
true. When I don't believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God, I can pick
and choose what goes into "my own personal bible". If I doubt one
thing, how do I trust any of it?
I believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God and He speaks to
us thru this amazing, sometimes incomprehensible Gift.
How do we get billions of years out of Genesis 1? We limit God's
Power because we can't comprehend it. Instead of giving Him all the glory and
adoration He deserves, some find it easier to believe that everything that
exists just happened. Both scenarios, God creating everything in 6 days and
Evolution taking billions of years - both are very hard to believe (for a
non-believer) but for those who profess the Name of Jesus, we believe in our
amazing Creator who continues to sustain the Universe by His word.

Note: This is my testimony, what I've come to believe with all my heart thru reading the Bible and studying. I don't claim to be a Bible scholar. I don't know Greek or Hebrew or Latin... But I know that when I open the Bible to hear from God, He uses this Booke bible to instruct me, to guide me, to remind me of how much I'm loved. Each time I study the Word, He gives me what I need for that day or moment. The Word of God is not just a book of History. It's living -
Hebrews 4:12 NKJV
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
