Gerald Schroeder tries to be both a scientist and a Bible scholar and becomes neither. You can't start with an opinion, reconciled or otherwise, and then try to shoehorn the evidence and scripture to match. You have have to start with the facts and draw your conclusions from that, AFTERWARDS.
For Biblical Scholars, facts are the Bible. We start with an open mind, read the facts in the Bible, then come to our conclusion AFTER reading the facts.
Reality does not reconcile people's opinions. Reality doesn't care what you or anybody thinks. If you decide that jumping off a cliff doesn't hurt, God will not try to reconcile your opinion of gravity with His. If you jump off a cliff God will break your legs and/or kill you.
More about Gerald Schroeder:
He professes Orthodox Judaism, and his works frequently cite Talmudic, Midrashic and medieval commentaries on Biblical creation accounts, such as commentaries written by the Jewish philosopher Nachmanides. Among other things, Schroeder attempts to reconcile a young earth creationism Biblical view with the scientific model of a world that is billions of years old using the idea that the perceived flow of time for a given event in an expanding universe varies with the observer’s perspective of that event
Sounds like cultural relativism for time:
"Hey, I got here on time, you just say I'm an hour late because the of the way you percieve time!"
"Your honor, you have to let my client go! Though you percieve that he has served a few minutes of his 50-year sentence, his perceived flow of time is that he's already served a lifetime..."
"Sure, according to your perception he hasn't breathed in a while, but I'm not calling an ambulance because according to my perception of time he's just between breaths..."
"You're underage? Only according to someone else's perception of time. Now take off those diapers...."
And if all this sciencey gibberish about big bangs and DNA and bacteria and viruses which we conveniently can't see, or dinosaurs that conveniently died before anybody could see them....If any of this was relevant, it would be in the Bible. Not hinted at in passing, if you interpret the scripture just right. I mean if God wanted us to behave according to the Germ Theory of disease (for just one example) He would tell us to. Yet Jesus and his disciples didn't even wash his hands before eating:
Then came together unto him the Pharisees...when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault. Mark 7:1-2
