"But , what if , everything in the universe was originally `` placed `` pretty much where we see it now ?"
"For me , this is like the idea that the speed of light was once very fast and has now slowed down . Both ideas indirectly call god a liar . This is bad . If all of our experiments show the Earth is 4.5 billion years old , then that is how old it is . If the Bible says something different , then either God meant Genesis for peoples past and now uses scientists to explain things better ( though I am uncomfortable with this idea as many scientists are atheists ) , or our puny minds , compared with God 's , have n't yet worked out how Genesis and an old Earth tie together ."
