Mark,
There are two Creation stories in the Bible. They are not the same, so does that mean that the Bible is wrong or that God expects us to us our brains to work out the differences?
I am still amazed that some people know that God gave us amazing brains, but does not want us to use them. To be sure it would have been much easier for God to just control us so God could just tell us what to do, but God does not work that way as we can see.
Humans evolved after the other animals, as the Bible says they were created after the rest of creation. We see today that Adam (humans) are still naming new species that we are finding. You have a way of thinking that science denies Biblical truth, when it does the opposite. Thus your way of understanding the Bible weakens the Christian witness, instead of strengthening it.
It seems that you would have God’s world never change once God created it, when in truth God created a finite universe which by definition id constantly changing and we are constantly changing as part of God’s plan and Will.
