Were I to believe in evolution, I would not be believing Genesis, or other references to God’s direct creation of the universe with all creatures within it sprinkled throughout the Bible.

Exactly. I look to the bible sometimes as a guide, but I sure don't believe in Genesis, and a lot of the other stuff, any more than I believe certain Native American tribes who believe the moon is the mother that birthed the earth.

They are all nice tries, considering the primitive lives they led at the time, but it is kind of silly to believe that stuff now, IMHO.

You don’t believe the story of Abraham?

As to the first 3 chapters: consider that Moses told this story to the Israelites from Mount Sinai, after the Lord had show him a fast forward video version of the creation.

It’s obvious that science can tell us more detail as to how the Lord created. And our faith survives literally earth shaking information such as that the earth rotates on its axis and in an orbit around the sun, rather than the sun revolving in an orbit around the earth.

Just don’t leap too far.
