It all has to do with
event horizons, time dilation and relativity
IOW God used relativity to Create the universe in 6 days, earth time.

This makes perfect sense; YEC from earth’s perspective presumably; OEC from without the event horizon (in Humphrey’s model).
Yet, I would think it more correct to say, God created the heavens and the earth and the event(s) followed relativistic ‘laws’.
Several relativistic scenarios I perceive support Genesis ch 1, without violating that chapter’s integrity:
1. General relativity (Humphrey)
2. Special relativity (E=mc^2) at the instant after the ‘big bang’ with increasing gamma at the periphery of the universe.
3. Atomic/Molecular clocks set well ahead of ‘solar time’ at the instant (the when) after the ‘big bang’
4. Speed of light (c) being perhaps infinite at the time of the creation before the first instant occurred.
5. Varying ‘maturities’ of substrates (stellar and biological) were integrated into the mechanism(s) of the creation process.
