If every scientist out there could just define for themselves what the different scientific theories really mean, then science wouldn't really work.

A person who is a Christian has no obstacles in accepting Cosmology, or even Evolution, whether or not the lattter is just a nice hypthesis is another matter, and the choice is up to the individual. The purpose of the Hexaemeron isn't to be a scientific thesis claiming God created everything in six days. I think what happens is non-Christian (maybe atheist) see small sects of Protestant Fundamentalist who are Biblical literalist and think "wow every Christian in the world believes the World was made in six days, 6000 years ago." But that isn't the case; that is just a misconception of Christianity.
