Do you believe that God cannot operate out of Time?

I'm quite certain God is independent of time, but here's the problem with that: the Bible is written to man, from God, through the inspired writing of men. It would make no sense for God to give us the Bible from his POV. Understanding our own world is hard enough without piling on more about a world we literally can't comprehend. Always remember, that He is not the author of confusion.

I understand that it's desireable to reconcile evolution to the Bible. It neatly removes cognitive dissonance, but Genesis, and for that matter, the rest of the Bible, is intended to cause cognitive dissonance in the mind of the reader.

There is plenty in the Bible that is not truly comprehensible to the mind of Man. There are many examples. We can't fathom how God can be three yet be one at the same time. Also, we can't fathom how Jesus can be truly Man and yet truly God at the same time.

Nowhere in the Bible does it explicitly and simply state that God is a Trinity. Yet this is something that we understand through the teaching of the Church. There are clues and pieces that when studied and interpreted correctly, lead the conclusion that God is a Trinity.

So why do you insist that the story of the 7 days of creation and the story of Adam and Eve must be take on the most simplistic, face-value, and absolute literal level?

Time is Nature's way of making sure that everything doesn't happen a once.
