“Creation of the species by evolution isn’t incompatible with the sequence of events, but it is incompatible with the claimed timeframe they occurred in.”
I think I understand your gist, but to be clear, are you saying the order of the groups created matches their generally assigned order of appearance in the fossil record?
I’ve heard the argument before, but I think if you delve into it there are flaws in that idea. Regardless, you’re still left with the proposition of the account being not just inaccurate, but deceptive. I’m not sure why, besides emotional attachment, people seem so intent on insisting that they “believe” in an account when they actually think it is not truthful.
I mean, I might believe that there are some true details contained in the Koran, about Muhammed’s life, or some historical events, but on the whole, it’s not an accurate record, so I would never say I believed it, as I can say I believe in the Bible.
I propose no deception. Just an inadequacy of the written language of the time to convey the idea perfectly.
