There's Hebrew literary devices called redundancy and parallel accounts that explain it quite well. Most people don't know anything about Hebrew literary devices so it's a common mistake to think there are two different, contradictory versions.

You are correct. Genesis is ancient literature and the first 11 chapters predate Moses. Never have I seen an evolutionist critic that treats it as anything but modern lit.

Then you are saying Jesus is a liar. Jesus, atributed Torah to Moses. All of it. Jesus said the first man was named Adam.

For all you "old earth" people out there who think you can have your cake and eat it too... the doctrines of sin and salvation hinge upon the Genesis account - the LITERAL account.

Romans 5:12-13: Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men"

There was NO DEATH before sin entered the world - Scripture makes it quite clear that death is the EFFECT of sin - therefore NO SIN - NO DEATH. So all the death that "old earth" theories present is a HUGE problem for believer in Jesus - unless he believes what God said THROUGH MOSES. Scripture makes it abundantly clear tht it is through ONE MAN that sin entered the world. So all the nonsense about each day being a thousands years long is fine and well, but are people saying during those long periods that things are DYING? If so, then they have a more serious THEOLOGY problem - not a SCIENCE problem.

Choose sides, but choose wisely.
