If there is an all-powerful God, there is absolutely NOTHING known of evolution that can't completely be explained by God's actions, or that would be incompatable with a reading of a literal 6-day creation.

A literal 6-day creation is incompatible with Genesis 2:4-7.

4 ... When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens- 5 and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground, 6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground- 7 the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

The "literal 6-day creation" story says that plants were created first. Which literal story is true?

Why would He create false evidence? Did He not command us not to bear false witness? Why would He bear false witness against Himself?

I have asked these questions on crevo threads before and never received an answer.

I'm not trying to defend a literal 6-day creation, just arguing that it is not incompatable with the facts which support evolution, once you postulate an all-powerful God.

Genesis 2 is a narrative, and would be less likely to spell out a worldwide sequence of events than Genesis 1.

As to the "bear false witness", I'm not saying that he DID do so, or did NOT, merely postulating that it could be so.

But I would point out that Jesus himself spoke in riddles, and said it was to keep people from seeing the truth.
