Supposedly there are billions of planets just in our own solar system. What do you know about that? The estimate has been made for the entire universe not our solar system. The number estimated for our solar system is far more modest: |

What those planets must hold in mystery! I suspect such bodies as to hold even metaphysical realities perhaps incapable for naked eye to witness Seeing as there is a point to everything God does, they must have purpose, at the very least, as some kind of balancing mechanism I agree. There is a purpose in everything that God creates and these other planets are no exception. Even the explosion of stars has a purpose. |

True, some astronomical theories, such as the Big Bang, with its billions of years, go contrary to what Young-Earth Christians believe.

I view the first Genesis 1:1 statement of "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth..." as describing the creation of the universe and the Earth and am willing to allow for the billions of years geologists and astronomers propose.
I view the seven days that follow that statement as describing the preparation of the Earth for human habitation.
Each of those days I believe to be 7000 years long based on the length of God's Day of Rest seems to have continued way past a twenty-four-hour day since Moses the Apostle Paul mentions it as still in progress in their day.
Under God's kingdom all such things will be totally clarified.

It's OK. We can differ in opinions on this since this is not a salvational issue. Salvational issues are the following:
1. Whether Jesus died for our sins or not.
2. Whether God exists or not.
3. Whether the things God calls evil, such as murder, idolatry, the practice of the occult, adultery, fornication, homosexuality, theft, dishonoring parents, etc, are really evil or not or should really be avoided or not.
4. Whether the Bible is really God's Word or not.
So if we differ in opinions on these other doctrinal matters, such as how much time elapsed during each creative day, or the length of God's day of rest, or whether Jonah was swallowed by a fish or a mammal, it really doesn't affect our standing before God.
BTW
Frequency of seeing something translated in a certain way by Christendom's translators does automatically guarantee accuracy. It can be based on on a common misunderstanding of doctrine which influenced the translators. The way in which Gehenna, Sheol, and Tartarus are translated are just a few examples among many.
Also, you believe that all the other days were 1000 years each except for the seventh? That is inconsistent. Furthermore, if indeed that seventh day passed after a mere 24-hour period, then why wasn't the usual statement of "There was evening and and there was morning...." made in reference to it as it was in regards to all the other days in order to indicate their passage?
