1. ...God created the heavens and the earth...
...and the earth was without form and void...
-WHY would God create a world without form and void? Search the book and we find the verses explaining Lucifers fall to earth.
This is not speculation, it is Biblical fact. Was God incompetant when he created the earth? No. It got that way somehow.
2. “This is how I look at it. I believe that God created evolution, and steered every single step along the way.
God is much bigger and more all-encompassing than a static God who can only handle one moment of creation. What a poor God that would be! God can steer every flap of every butterfly’s wings. He can steer evolution.”
-Again, you CANNOT have evolution as a means of Biblical creation for the reason that the book says that DEATH ENTERED THE WORLD THROUGH ADAM’S SIN.
How does evolution work? Things die. Over MANY many many generations as they ‘change’.
One CANNOT intelligently believe that God used ‘evolution’ to create us. That would make him a liar. My God is not a liar. Or a doofuss.

That’s part of what I am asking - if something in the bible is not literally true do you lose your whole faith
