I think I know what you’re saying, the term "scientific description" says more than what I was saying.

I guess something just doesn't sit right with me when I read the words:
"Modern Reformation as an organization does not take a view on the age of the earth other than to say that Genesis was not revealed in order to provide a scientific description of origins but as an historical prologue justifying God's lordship over all creation.”

The creation account in Genesis one and two is more than just a "historical prologue justifying God's lordship over all creation.”
That is the kind of reasoning that even a theistic evolutionist can make.
