Your description of creation uses different language to biblical

Are you a biblical literalist? If not, then what problem do you see
with my not using biblical language? if you are a literalist, then we
really are poles apart and very unlikely indeed to have any common
basis for discussing this stuff. It would be useful to sort that out
before I waste any further time on a fruitless task.

The perils of written communication. My intention was rather the opposite, i.e. to affirm commonality despite different language at face value.
I'd call myself a provisional OEC, which equals non-literalist to YECs, but to others I'd be a categorised a literalist.
