> dhw: You are determined to "cherry-pick" the reference to time, which I'm happy to accept as being made to fit in with the time scale of evolution. But you continue to dodge what you yourself consider to be the goal of evolution, which is the emergence of humans. This has always been the greatest source of controversy between creationists and evolutionists: the bible gives an account of how God created man (and woman) separately; evolution claims that man and chimps descended from a common ancestor. -The bible does tell us God intended to produce humans. The bible does not describe evolution, only that God created species and humans. The bible does not give a method, which now many of us accept as some type of a controlled evolutionary process. I am a theistic evolutionist which drives bible thumpers nuts. The bible is to be interpreted, not rigidly translated from the ancient words.
