No. But I don't believe the Creation account is to be read as a literal-historical narrative. Nor do I regard that reference in Exodus to prove that the Creation account in Genesis 1 is literal-historical.

The universe is about 14 billions years old and the earth is about 4.5 billion years old.

Should I believe God or you?

Exodus 20:11 (KJV)
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:

The Bible is God's Word. God can't be different than His Word. It is impossible for Him to lie.

So Given that God is 100% perfect, then the bible is 100% perfect correct?
And an Infinite God is no different than a finite Bible?

I would not call the Bible God. But I can understand why some might. Our English translations are not perfect. But the overall message is quite clear.

Didn't you just say a few post ago "The Bible is God's Word. God can't be different than His Word." ?

Yes. He has given us plenty of evidence that the Bible is His Word.

These two statements show that the Bible is God.

FYI Jesus is the Word, the Bible is not the Word.

How about both?

No, because the Bible is Not God, the Bible is Not Jesus, the Bible is a book that describes both, but isn't either one.

The Bible isn't 100% perfect
The Bible isn't 100% without error.

13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

Psst that's not the Bible they're talking about. (It didn't exist at that time)

Which Christ? How do you know about Him? The Bible?

By the Holy Spirit, The Holy Spirit is the Only one that can draw someone to God.

I Worship God, not the Bible. The Bible isn't God.
It's a map, but not the Land
It's a guide book but not the Guide.

You can't say the Bible(A book of about 788,280 words) is fully 100% equivalent to an Infinite God.
