When you're God, you do things the way you want to.

But if you did something one way then described it a totally different way, you would be either a fool or a liar. Which one do you think God is ?

"The Bible describes the days of creation as "morning and evening". That strongly points to literal days. Evolution is contrary to the Bible and it's silly to pretend that it's not..."

The accounts in Genesis are an allegory that contains theological Truth. The point is that God created the Heavens and the Earth, not that He did it this way or He did it that way.

"But if you did something one way then described it a totally different way, you would be either a fool or a liar. Which one do you think God is?"

False dichotomy. There are many things about God that we cannot understand, so when God speaks to us about them, He uses approximations and allegories.
