However, you didn't say if you agreed or not.

By the way, feel free to check out the math. Math is not my best subject.

sonofdavid,

I am not stating my views because of my forth coming debate. Here is another dispensationalist who holds to the old earth doctrine.

It is now over a hundred years ago since Dr. Chalmers called attention to the fact that the word "was" in Genesis 1:2 should be translated "became," and that between the first two verses of Genesis 1 some terrible catastrophe must have intervened.

A.W. Pink was a dispensationalist author.

Where does the Bible say there was a catastrophe between Genesis 1.1 and Genesis 1.2?

I have read, "The Sovereignty of God" by AW Pink. I respect that work. So, I am familiar with Pink. But, he is only a man. And no man has perfect knowledge. Therefore, it is important to simply accept what is written than to go off half-cocked following some fancy ear-tickler.

You're not hearing me. I am not attacking the young earth doctrine. I am attacking your notion that the young earth doctrine is dispensationalist. Prominent dispensationalists believed in the old earth doctrine. Therefore, the young earth doctrine is not dispensationalist.

It is now over a hunderd years ago since Dr. Chalmers called attention to the fact that the word "was" in Genesis 1:2 should be translated "became," and that between the first two verses of Genesis 1 some terrible catastrophe must have intervened. That this catastrophe may have been connected with the apostasy of satan, seems mor likely; that some catastrophe did occur is certain from Isaiah 45:18, which expressly declares that the earth was not created in the condition in which Genesis 1:2 views it.

Pink gives his scriptures for his view that the earth suffered a catastrophe. Again I say that I will not state my view until the debate if we should get into it.
