I don’t see why so many people are assuming that Aumann is accepting a literal creation in six days. I read the article and it seems obvious to me that he believes that the world came to be in the ordinary way accepted by science, and he considers the six days to be something like an allegory. There is no need for explanations like a double truth or compartmentalization.
It’s not at all obvious what he believes. He didn’t use the word allegory, metaphor, or anything similar in his explanation. He never said anything to indicate that he saw science as “true” and religion as “false”. He simply said that they’re two different ways to look at the world.
