Stratification of the rocks does not prove evolution, just that the Earth is old, which any idiot should be able to figure out.

The Bible gives a very specific timeline of why animals came to be, and does not allow for any possible gaps in creation that could allow evolution to occur.

Therefore, I just don't understand why people say you can make evolution and Scripture compatible. I don't think you can.

One is either right or wrong.

If Scripture is wrong, Christianity and Judaism are shams based on books with untruths. And I don't believe that.

Actually, you cannot "date" the book of Genesis at all with the chronologies. It is a common Hebrew trait, shown when you compare the chronologies in Matthew, Kings, and Chrionicles that when someone says A>B>C>D>E>F, with A being the patriarch and F being geneeration 6, it is just as common and also correct to say A>F. There may be HUGE gaps in the chronologies. the most laughable example of this is Jesus affirming that the Pharisees are all "sons of Abraham." No one that I know of tries to say something stupid about this, they just take it as a Hebraism, and AFFIRM THAT JESUS WAS NOT TRYING TO AFFIRM LINEAL RELATIONSHIPS, JUST LINEAL DESCENT. ICR people should do the same.
