Alternate Theory Of Creation No. 3 - The "day/Age" Theory

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 24, 2023

Another theory of the creation of the universe in opposition to the record given in Genesis 1 is the "Day/Age" Theory, and like the previous two we looked at, has neither the science or Scriptural foundation to verify its claim.
