I guess the only biblical attempts I am familiar with for an "old earth" is the gap theory, which I don't agree with, and Tony Warren's <a href="http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/bible/timeline.shtml" rel="nofollow">The Biblical Timeline of Creation</a>. Tony's is probably not strictly "old earth" in the eyes of scientists who think in terms of millions and billions of years. He is speaking in terms of 13,000-14,000 years old. He arrives at this with a method of interpreting the Genesis 5 & 11 genealogies as "Patriarchal References" -- that is, the periods represent the time period of a particular Partiarch, which is then followed by the next. So basically, all the periods are added together. I don't agree with this either.R. L.

I would like to read it for a different viewpoint, but I'm not sure how biblical the book really is. But I guess I can give it a shot, however, I'm still a young earth guy for now!
