FWIIW, I see problems in the Gen accounts that must be glossed over to be a young earther (to modify Cheryl’s quote), but this forum and esp. this thread is not about discussing this subject.

The book “Paradigms on Pilgrimage” by Godfrey and Smith gives both a Biblical and scientific understanding that is closest to my own. It also has the best I have yet found explanation of the Gen 1 imagery. It describes 2 former YEC’s who were “dragged kicking and screaming” into dropping their YEC paradigm, one on a Biblical basis and the other on the basis of science.
