Science and religion writer Daniel Friedmann recently presented at Canada's 'premiere meeting of the minds' conference Ideacity:

Daniel Friedmann is an engineer by day, but by night he seeks to reconcile the seemingly opposing stories of creation from the Bible and science. In this talk, he suggests that much like a blueprint, the timeline in Genesis is to scale with scientific knowledge.

The Genesis One Code by Daniel Friedmann:

Were the heavens and the earth created 6,000 years ago, as the Bible suggests? Or did the universe expand into existence nearly 14 billion years ago from a spontaneous "Big Bang"? Both dates cannot be right - or can they?

Imagine that there were some medieval manuscripts, written eight hundred years ago, that could help us decipher Genesis to pinpoint exactly when the universe began, as identified by our most up-to-date cosmological theories. Further, suppose that these same manuscripts could help us extract from Genesis the timelines for the development of life on Earth, precisely as identified by the latest scientific evidence from the fossil record.

The Genesis One Code offers a careful examination of the relationship between scientific theory and biblical teaching. The book targets the origins debate from a fresh perspective informed by scientific and spiritual research.

This exploration demonstrates an alignment between the dates of key events described in Genesis 1 and 2 with those derived from scientific theory and observation. This alignment provides a compelling perspective deserving of thoughtful consideration.
