JT on the Age of the Earth

It appears that Justin Taylor and I have similar thoughts about the age of the earth. I would encourage you to read this post. Note, by the way, that his arguments do not rest on the word "day" in Genesis 1 being translated as "age" (the old day-age argument). Instead, he follows the path of Waltke and many others in reading Genesis 1 as an analogical account to the human week. I find these arguments attractive, particularly as I have seen them presented by Waltke, Poythress, and others.
