"They can't even get the proper sequence right in Genesis."Genesis was not intended to be a science or history book. The fundamentals of physics necessary to explain creation were impossible to communicate to the neolithic nomads who received this portion of the revealed Word. Regardless of the wishes and claims of many, Genesis does not attempt to explain HOW God created the universe, it only proclaims THAT He did.

Genesis was not intended to be a science or history book. The fundamentals of physics necessary to explain creation were impossible to communicate to the neolithic nomads who received this portion of the revealed Word. Regardless of the wishes and claims of many, Genesis does not attempt to explain HOW God created the universe, it only proclaims THAT He did. It establishes a time line of events that is blatantly wrong. No physics understanding is necessary to get the proper sequence correct.
The Bible starts off badly and progressively gets worse.
