The quote I was referring to wasn't yours and was an incoherent fragment of babble.
Time starts with these atomic timers along with other elements in the beginning, earth heavens being made of all those a kinship to the universe
Why would the glory depart at that time? I believe when God said let there be light. That was God choosing to enter creation and thus becoming a theistic God. He was the light. Then when God created the sun this is the light we see now. God will once again be the light without the sun.
Age of the universe? I'd say less than ten thousand years would be what scripture says.
Though this isn't something that troubles me if someone disagrees, like if someone doesn't believe the core gospel. Not really a big enough deal to me to argue over creation when none of us where there, and though I think it is easily proven with scripture... Some people see the same message and take away a different meaning.
I have seen people who truly believe the earth is flat. I'd much rather talk to them about the saving gospel than geography the same way I'd rather talk to anyone using terms like "millions" or "billions" of years about the Creator and His gospel than His creation.

Unfortunately, the need for some Christians to think that the Bible is a science textbook, clouds not only our rational thought, but it causes unbelievers to see us as ignorant. You can’t be intellectually honest and think that nothing existed on this planet, or the universe, before the biblical timeline. Wake up! We are not the center of the Universe. If someone thinks that the stars were created so humans can figure out times and for navigation, then what about the millions of galaxies that are only visible with a telescope? The creation story gave an account of the stages of Creation. Yes, it may have been made by Jehovah, but no, it surely doesn’t stand up to critical thinking, as presented. Moses was given a nation of farmers and he gave them a story that showed that the God who freed them from slavery was indeed their owner because He created them. He has intellectual property rights. This world is His, and everything on it belongs to Him, including us. The monuments built with technology beyond even today’s capabilities, fossils found and geological anomalies, all attest to a planet that has been inhabited and desolated many times. The current era might be less than ten thousand years. The devastation that awaits us described in Revelation 6 marks the next catastrophic event, and after that the final one that causes the total destruction of earth.
Granted there are several scientists who peddle their findings as more legitimate then they are. That’s how they make money to support their hobby. Many denominations have also twisted biblical content to support their claims. Honestly, what would be the point of Yahweh putting dinosaur fossils in the ground or any of the other ridiculous things to make the earth seem older? It’s not heresy to be logical and Christian. To dismiss every theory purely based on the fact that you can’t find it written in scripture is stifling to our testimony. God uses scientific principles to create and maintain. These can be observed and testify to intelligent design. I think more intelligent people would come to know the Lord if they weren’t pushed out the door by Christians who are afraid to learn that all things in the Bible are for spiritual edification, some by concrete explanation and some by allegorical accounts. They all teach that God is supreme, whether you are a farmer or a scientist.

There are a few problems. The 7th day was when God rested from creating. Notice we no longer have new species just popping up everywhere like it shows in the fossil records. Plus humans haven't been around around for millions of years. So it isn't unfinished within the idea of creation because God rested. What was unfinished was the period of prophecies and time for Christ to fulfill the prophecies. Everything now has been fulfilled and scripture tells us why Christ is so long in his return. Because God is patiently waiting for the full number of saved predetermined within God's foreknowledge.
The disciples didn't fully grasp time either at first. They thought either Christ was going to immediately set up a Earthly Kingdom or would return very quickly. Well 2000+ years later God is very patient with the fleshly world.
Hmm the end of the dark ages

Yah it blows my mind the put in perspective a light year in distance to miles. And then put that in perspective how wide our galaxy is. And then put that in perspective that there are 1000s of galaxies.
We do not know the day or hour as scripture says but according to prophecy Christ is returning soon. And then will come the 1000 year reign. Eventually time will be done and to promise rest of Hebrew 4 will no longer be available.
Yes it is huge,, andromeda Galaxy can be seen with the eye out beyond city lights if you know where to look, but it is about the same size as the Milky Way in the local group of three I like the latest photos of it from humble that shows a perspective of the size the Milky Way and no doubt the solar system is way smaller than a spec of dust

Big Bang theory?
That trumps what God said to Moses about resting on day 7. As he rested on day 7
why do you continue to ignore what Moses said? And my comments on what he said?
again according to your view. God told Moses to work for 6 days then rest the rest of eternity
please respond to this. Or is that to hard?
you don’t think it was quite the Big Bang the heavens and earth was created?
what man can work a galactic day

No doubt there was no sun around on the first day and the second those where galactic days, the earth was formless void nothing but elements no other planets nothing still brewing in a nebulae
How does it trump what God said. God spoke and bam there was the universe.
As related to Moses about resting, I do not see what you are trying to prove? Sabbath rest is part of Gods command also.
