I agree with you, as I have pointed out before, that all of God’s creation has come from nothingness. However, I do not see any dates given in scripture for this. Heb. 11:3 is in the universal context. You wish to apply it to our global context. Can you, who are advocating “proper exegesis” to me, support this?
Sure. Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
The writer of Hebrews was talking of what we see. Where else do we see more clearly than this earth?
I see plenty of stars and planets at night, how about you? “The heavens declare the glory of God…” Were they all made 6000 years ago according to you? (You won’t find it in the Bible or Ellen White.)
Quite frankly, we do not know what God created beyond our solar system 6,000 years ago.
In all my discussion I am limiting myself to our solar system. That is what we see more than anything else. These bodies are included in Genesis 1 in the creation.
The worlds that are seen came from nothing. That is good enough for me.
