Contrary to the claims of some Fundamentalists, Genesis does not teach that the universe, including the earth and all living things on it, was created in a short period of time in the relatively recent past.
Vastupidiselt mõningate fundamentalistide väidetele ei õpeta Piibli loomislugu, et universum, kaasa arvatud maakera ja kõik elusorganismid sellel, loodi lühikese ajaperioodi vältel mitte kuigi ammu.
