Day-age creationism

Day-Age creationism is a form of Old Earth Creationism that attempts to harmonise Genesis and an ancient earth by interpreting the six days of Genesis 1 as six long periods of millions of years. The interpretation is still problematic, because the scientific order of formation is different from the Biblical order. For example, the Bible says plants were created before the sun, and that birds were created before fish; the scientific account is sun before plants, and fish before birds. Especially difficult is that if the days were millions of years, then the plants had millions of years without the sun - an impossibility.
