I dont own Truth. The Bible is Truth.

The Genesis account is strait-forward.

I am only trying to point out that evolution and the Bible are incompatible. It is the evolutonists who try to twist and turn Scripture to fit their world view.

No the Genesis account is NOT straightforward at all. And evolution is possible in some honest ways of understanding that text. G-d does not set the course of the world and the things in it to mock the intelligent -- the honest and humble man or woman of intelligence, the genuine scientist.

The geological strata, the fossil record, the classifications of life and order, the recent understandings of physics and astrophysics are reasonably interpreted accorded to an evolutionist view -- reasonably, but not completely. Some ways of structuring and marshalling those facts can be fit to more subtle and complex understandings of Genesis.

And The Holy Text being as infinitely deep as it is can more than handle the load of bridging between it and science -- if one goes about that effort honestly and avoids the bindings of idol-worship and the blindings of hubris.

However the scorn and calumnity so readily thrown at those who attempt to more closely tie the fossil, geological and biological records to a reading like your own -- a plain and simple translation of Genesis -- and who challenge the Secularist *Religion's* Doctrine of evolution from randomness is undeserved, dishonest and anti-science.
