Sorry, Jim, sweet talk will get you nowhere. I'm not going to do your work
for you and write a short version of what I have already invested years of
effort to write. My answer to your question is in the following:
1. Howard J. Van Till, THE FOURTH DAY: What the Bible and the Heavens are
Telling us about the Creation (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1986). Subject
matter: the nature and relationship of biblically-informed portrayals and
empirically-informed scientific descriptions of the universe's formational
history, with applications to the contemporary creation-evolution debate.

2. PORTRAITS OF CREATION: Biblical and Scientific Perspectives on the
World's Formation, by Howard J. Van Till, Robert E. Snow, John H. Stek and
Davis A. Young (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1990). This work was the product of
a year-long collaborative study at the Calvin Center for Christian
Scholarship. (available at amazon.com or bn.com)
