Could Time Dilation explain the difference between Genesis 1 and a 15 billion year old universe?”
The six days primarily describe what was going on on the earth. If you mean “day” in the literal sense, that’s defined by the motion of the earth relative to the sun. So you’re talking about the same physical reference frame. Time dilation is about differences in time perception in different physical places, with different relative motions. Since this is all on the same place, presumably it’s all moving at the same speed, and so there’s no time dilation effect. I suppose that you could twist the words to make it work: imagine that the point-of-view of the author of Genesis is moving very, very fast relative to Earth and so experiences only 6 “days” (defined, say, by a cesium clock, NOT by the motion of the earth relative to the sun) during the 15 billion years of evolution. But that’s a severely twisted reading. Verse 5 is pretty clear that we’re talking about a sun-oriented day: ” And the evening and the morning were the first day.” Also, the high-speed acceleration you’re describing
