It also says that a day is as a thousand years to God.

So 6000 years, this is literally not true.

The Creation story is considered by many to be allegorical.

So it's literally fake shit.

The word of God, allegory LOL

Not really. The word for day, 'yom', can mean a specific of the day "at this yom the sun is high in the sky", it can mean 24 hours "there are seven yoms in a week" or it can mean an unspecific period of time "in my father's 'yom' they never would have allowed for this to happen".

It could mean 24 hours. It could mean something more. The Hebrew word for 'world/land/region' is similarly unspecific, which is why it is entirely possible that Noah's flood only hit the region of Mesopotamia, in which case it would have only destroyed Sumeria and not the entire planet.

The truth is we do not know for certain. But if you take these other interpretations, which are completely in line with the potential meanings of the translation; then it all seems to make a lot of sense and aligns with our secular historical sources.

If you do not know for certain, then you literally do not know shit and are trying to interpret it your way.

Admit it, the Bible is crook.
