The difference is not great, as you said, but it raises the question about which one is 'true.'

What does the Bible say about the origins of the Earth in relation to what science say?

LOLOL.. Its silly. Even the ancient Jews knew that Genesis was neither science nor history.

Another unresponsive response.
If you are going to take the time to respond to a comment, why not actually respond to the comment?

But it doesn't. It is simply a myth for little children. It is rather scary that some adults try to take such myths seriously. It is on the same order as arguing for the Tooth Fairy:

I think I'll let you look it up and get back to me, perhaps you will be shocked to learn truth.

You do not seem to understand that you used a term improperly. When you claim that an assumption was made you put the burden of proof upon yourself. Remember, just because you do not understand how scientists come up with a concept does not mean that they were guilty of "assuming". That may be your sin.
It is you who might be shocked one day if you find you have been living in a fantasy world of your own creation.

The Hebrew AND Greek Bibles constantly use far antecedents as begetting, as in "the sons of Aaron tithed to Melchizedek, because Abraham begot them" (Hebrews).
Your lack of Bible knowledge is consistent with your stances, but upsetting.

So your response to "you've goal post shifted" is another goal post shift, as above?

Right, how can he not know that when the Bible is obviously wrong that is when one gets to reinterpret it? Shameful ignorance

No, my response to "You ignored my ridiculous demands" is more ridicule.

You make an assertion, it is your job to back it up. I have no obligation to do your work for you.

So the duck and dodge tap dance continues.
It was a simple question, show that Bishop Ussher's age calculation, that he based on the Biblical genealogies, is wrong.
You haven't been able to do that.
The best you have been able to do is argue that the Bible is so vague, and self-contradictory, as to be pretty much useless.
Yet you believe in it to your core.
I too believe in the Bible, but I can't find the Trinity teaching in the Bible. No Triad God can I find.
By Trinity often one thinks that God is God, Jesus is God and holy spirit is God. All equal.
What I do find is that the God of the Bible is from everlasting ( No beginning ) Psalms 90:2
I find the pre-human heavenly Jesus was the beginning of God's creation - Revelation 3:14; 1:5
Thus, the 'in-the-beginning Jesus' was Not before the beginning as his God was before the beginning.
Even the resurrected Jesus (Hebrews 9:24) still thinks he has a God over him as per Revelation 3:12.
As far as God's spirit (Psalms 104:30) I find it is an "it". A neuter as per Numbers 11:17; Numbers 11:25.
Modern King James versions took the liberty to change 'it' to him at Romans 8:16; Romans 8:26.
And surely a person was Not in Job's nose - Job 27:3
I also find a person can Not be 'poured out' but an 'it' can be poured out as mentioned at Proverbs 1:23.
However, I find that the Creator God is the Bible's Author - 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Revelation 4:11
Bible writers were His pen men, His secretary writing down God's thoughts, God's inspired ideas.
.. and that ' arrow of time ' can be pointed both forwards and backwards.
For each 'second of time' we can count forever both forwards and backwards into eternity.
There used to be a BIG bill board in town that read to 'go to the church of your choice'.
It never was changed to read to 'go to the church of God's choice'.
Jesus I find stressed as to who to worship at John 4:23-24.
Thus, Jesus never prayed to himself but directed prayer to his God, his Father "Our Father........"
So, it would seem to me to go to where the God of Jesus is worshipped - Revelation 3:12

What do you think that 2 Timothy 3 15-17 refers to? Think about it.
For: JJ50
If healthy, would you like to pick the day you want to die ________
Would you like to pick the day for your last meal/dessert ______
If Not, then eternity is in your heart and the desire to live, to keep on living.
By asking for 'Jesus to come!' then we are asking for 'enemy death' to end on Earth - 1 Corinthians 15:26; Isaiah 25:8
