"When Christians have different views of Genesis, they are primarily arguing from outside of Scripture taking beliefs TO Scripture.
Mostly, they are trying to fit man’s ideas of evolution and millions of
years (based in naturalism) into the Bible.
As they do this, they invent all sorts of creative ways of trying to fit such beliefs into Scripture, resulting in positions like the gap theory, theistic evolution, progressive creation, framework hypothesis, and so on.
The main motive for these positions is not exegesis (out of), but eisegesis (into). They are trying to force beliefs from outside of Scripture onto Scripture.
---There’s no way you get millions of years FROM Scripture.
---There’s no way you could ever get the idea of apelike creatures evolving into humans from Scripture.
---There’s no way you could get the big bang idea of stars supposedly forming millions of years ago, then the sun and then the earth as a hot molten blob, from Scripture.
Now, this is the serious problem. .... this is an undermining of the authority of Scripture."
