          the formation of the sky: “And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the
          waters to separate water from water”. So God made the expanse and separated the
          water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the
          expanse “sky”. And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day”
          (Gen.1:6-8).
            Therefore:

                                       X 2 = 2 day


          22.3.4  Creation of Sun and Moon

          Cosmologic Values (Y3, Y4)
          The ages of the sun and the moon are:

              •  The Sun: 4.57 ± 0.02 Gyr (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun)
              •  The  Moon:  4.53  ±  0.01  Gyr  (Source:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
                  Moon#Formation)


            Time of creation of the sun (Y 3) and the moon (Y 4) in the cosmologic time-
          scale:


                             Y 3 = 13.7 – 4.57 = 9.13 Gyr (Sun)

                            Y 4 = 13.7 – 4.53 = 9.17 Gyr (Moon)

          Biblical Values (X3, X4)

          No controversy exists among biblical interpreters that the Bible refers to the sun
          and the moon as created on the fourth day. Therefore:


                                  X 3 = 4 day; X 4 = 4 day

          22.3.5  Creation of Life on Earth

          Cosmologic Value (Y5)
          Since the sun and the moon were created on the fourth day (section 22.3.4),

          one has to assume that the description of life on Earth as created on the fifth day

          relates to the first appearance of life. This is emphasized since the Bible describes
          appearance of life on Earth (in the form of grass and trees) already on the third
