Reading Genesis in a way that differs from the Seventh Day Adventist's way is not to be "anti-Genesis", but to understand Genesis better.
When will you realize that there are multiple possible ways of reading the text, not just the one you use?
I am not sure what failure you are talking about, exactly.
I'm not really sure where you're going with the SDA view
As far as young earth goes Barnabas wrote these words:
15:3 He speaketh, too, of the sabbath in the
beginning of the creation: And God made in six days
the works of his hands, and finished them on the
seventh day, and rested in it and sanctified it.
15:4 Consider, my children, what signify the words,
He finished them in six days. They mean this: that in
six thousand years the Lord will make an end of all
things, for a day is with him as a thousand years. And
he himself beareth witness unto me, saying: Behold
this day a day shall be as a thousand years.
Therefore, my children, in six days, that is in six
thousand years, shall all things be brought to an end.
Now, I don't present this portion of the Epistle of Barnabas as "inspired" BUT, it does show the line of thought of this early Christian.
Others such as Bishop Ussher put together a timeline using the chronology presented in scripture and came up with a creation date of approximatly 4,000 BC. Ussher did the math.
Still, I would like for you to explain the fall considering your claim of there being multiple possible ways of reading the text.
