Some Creationists argue that like Adam, the Universe was already made 'mature' (Mature Universe/Creation theory) and didn't have to undergo what the scientific community explains today like the birth and death of stars and other matter that takes millions of years etc..
That's a clever sounding argument.
But then again how do we count days from an immaterial, timeless, spaceless God? Its futile.
I agree bro, that days, years and even time cannot affect God, but Bible clearly lays out the number of specific years of the age of the ancient people in the genealogies, otherwise it would defy its purpose of being there.
I say God put those numbers so that real Christians today, will be separated by the agnostics and christian-look-alikes today.
Those numbers are there so that we will be able to stand our ground in a battle that we are fighting for His Majesty!
For His Kingdom, and Glory be His!
Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist while we put on the whole Armour of God. - Ephesians 6:10-18
