Starting with the chaos of the big bang
Moving on to the point where light came into being
Then solid matter condensed from the 'liquid' plasma.
The solids and fluids were gathered and separated
Plants came into being
Then swimming creatures
Then (dinosaurs which became) birds
Then mammals
And finally, that Johnny come lately, Man
Pretty much the same sequence that Physics and TOE have.
The main difference between the stories the Bible and Modern Science tell is the timescale. I don't know how long one of God's days is, but I do note that the Seventh Day doesn't end with "And the evening and the morning were the nth day" like days 1-6.
I assert that we are still in the Seventh Day as the Bible never says it ended...
And the Bible deals with what and why, while Modern Science deals with what and how.
Excellent post. I applaud you for your pithy comments.
I once calculated using the temperature of the cosmic background radiation, the temperature of quark confinement, the volume of a sphere, and rough estimates of cosmological and geological timescales to find that 6 days = 15.4 billion years, and the end of the 7th day is in a few hundred thousand years. (Yes this is based on Gerald Shroeder)
Not as cool as the 2012 Mayan end of the world date, and both sides have shredded Shroeder's argument for the alignment of Genesis timing (I find the critiques misunderstand either the science involved or the Bible). I would like to think though, that humanity will fully explore the universe before time is up.
