The Genesis account according to Old Earth (millions of yrs), theistic evolution, bible-believers, so called: (We’ll call it Genesis according to the prophet Hugh Ross or the Ross/Tim Keller version of creation.)
The following is an imaginary, conversation between the Father & an incredulous angelic scribe.
God [speaking to His Son & an angelic scribe as to how the universe is to begin]: In the beginning were elements that came together over billions of years into chunks of matter, stars & moons & such, but in such a way as to defy the general laws of science & form in one spot a completely unlikely place called earth, where all the objects align so that I can create on that place.
Angel [Interrupting]: Sir, why would you cause something to happen contrary to the laws of science you created? And doesn’t that contradict the account you plan to give to the prophet, Moses? As the angelic scribe, I’ve seen the 1st draft of the 1st five books of the bible, you know.
