The scientific community, society and even many churches have accepted that the earth is billions of years old and evolution by natural selection and chance have brought about the world that we know today. Where is the evidence for this conclusion? What does the Bible actually say? Let's start a respectful conversation.

8 Biggest Mysteries of Our Planet (news article)
The Bible has the answers to all but one of these eight foundational questions regarding our planet. Men chose to ignore the Creator's account of what He did, in favor of wild speculation and mystery. They do this because they know that having a creator places expectation and responsibility upon them. Read the Fox News article 8 Biggest Mysteries of Our Planet

Gravitational Waves
The recent discovery of gravitational waves has atheists all kinds of excited. Ian Juby did a good job discussing the gravitational waves and the still present problems with the naturalists Big Bang. Watch the video in which he discusses the topic for 15 or 20 min. http://youtu.be/JG6ol841uIs
My perspective on all this is that I don't know how God created the cosmos, except by speaking. I do believe that when He said "let there be light" that was him creating time and space. Light is intrinsically related to time and space. God created these dimensions from nothing. He was and is outside of this universe, not bound by time. He had no beginning but created the beginning. He didn't create the sun, moon, or other stars until after he created the plants. I think He did that to show he really was talking about 24-hr days.
There are creationist models that explain how we can have light arriving here from far distant stars, they don't need special physics or billions of earth years, they also eliminate the big bang's light travel problem(an even microwave background radiation across the universe, for which 14 billion years isn't nearly enough time to achieve). Ian's guest in the second video, Dr. Russell Humphreys, created one such creationist model That has made predictions that naturalistic cosmologies failed to make.
