Choose your weapon.
The Earth was not created in 7 days. Science directly contradicts the bible.
IF you interpret "days" to mean "24 hour earth days" then you set this up to be FALSE.
(That does not even make sense, how can the steps of creation be measured in "earth days" if the earth and sun were not yet created?)
IF you interpret "days" to mean ages or stages, then that is consistent with the idea of historic periods of development.
Science does not have to "contradict the Bible."
It represents spiritual human history, so of course it relies on interpreting symbols
to capture the past and future and all stages of life and development toward maturity.
Like I said: "Science contradicts a LITERAL reading of the bible."
