I didn't say that. I said "the beginning" and that's what scripture says. To me, the "beginning" clearly means the time when something starts or begins.

That would be Day One, NO?

No, I mean the beginning of creation. He brought forth light, land and water, the heavens, animal life, man, then he rested.

I suppose your point is that man wasn't made on day one, so what says that man wasn't evolving in the meantime? I would point to what God said on day six. "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth."

That obviously indicates that man was made separately.

Then man was not created in the beginning.
