A Genesis timeline interpretation fully compatible with scientific evidence

And just as Biblical works often use the science of their day,

More correctly they used the observations of their day. Science didn’t exist yet so this is a category error. I only point this out due to so many people believing the Bible is a science text.

I suppose you could consider the Greek efforts to be ‘the science of their day’, at least for the NT, but the NT authors didn’t really use it.

Touché. Yes, modern science (like modern history) didn’t exist. By “science of their day” I simply mean their thoughts about the origins of things (cosmogony is probably a better term).

‘Modern history’ certainly did exist for the Bible authors - but it would have referred to e.g. the first century BC.
