Abstract: The article discusses the historical development of day-age theory, which reconciles the geological history of Earth with the biblical account of creation in Genesis. It highlights the work of geologists like Hugh Miller, Arnold Guyot, and John William Dawson, who sought to align geological periods with the days of creation. The text also explores the challenges faced by proponents of day-age theory, such as Samuel Kinns' controversial campaign and the clash with the scientific community. Ultimately, the article presents a nuanced view of the intersection between science, religion, and interpretation in understanding Earth's history. [Extracted from the article]
