What we needed to know may not have actually been within our grasp (nor is yet)
The ones who dont dispute the meaning of words in the Bible never have talked to someone who has translated it themselves.
Science is not a threat to God, and God is not a threat to science. As for the evolution myth, who's to say God didn't use evolution as a mechanism for making Man? Care to explain the large voids in generations that the Biblical geneology makes? They look like the same gaps in evolutionary links to me.
Saying God created things before Man is not blasphmey, it's simply an understanding that God is just now opening up to us.
How would you have felt if you just followed some guy who was raised in Egyptian palaces for 40 years, and watched him come from the mountain and say "Oh, by the way, there used to be creatures that existed before us, they were hundreds of times our size and well adapet at survival. They didn't make it, what do you think our chances are of getting out of here alive are?"
Your analogy breaks down when any amount of logic is applied. First you're saying God lied to us -- God cannot lie. Second, you're still misuing the term "yom" which clearly means one literal day. I've researched the Hebrew on this point and it IS not debatable.
You are right that science is not a threat to God. Science supports Creation without exception. Evolution is not science, but a theory attempting to explain the evidence that is in existance. Creation is another explanation that fits the evidence. However, Creation never has to be altered as new evidence is discovered -- it simply fits. Evolutionary theory has to be altered -- which some say points to its validity because it's "flexible". But Clinton and Kerry are flexible with the truth too.
There are no 'voids' in generations -- not sure what you're talking about there. And saying God created things before man IS blasphemy, because it goes against what God Himself says. You're also saying that death existed before the fall in the Garden of Eden -- which too goes against God's revelation through Moses.
God was there at Creation, He was an eyewitness to the entire process and therefore in a position to reveal honestly what happened.
You are clinging to an explanation fabricated by man and trying to shoehorn God's Truth into it. Instead you should start with God's Truth and work from there. Things fit much more nicely and nothing is left out.
The question isn't how could God have made everything as he said in Six Days -- but why would He take so long? He's infinite. He could have done it in a blink.
I think a little more study is in order on your part to see how Creation in Six Days fits all the evidence we have. If you truly appreciate Science, you would be willing to do this.
