If you're a theistic evolutionist you're at least a step in the right direction.
However the story of creation lays the foundation for the Gospel. Through sin death came into the world, making salvation necessary. If death is not the wages of sin, the whole Bible is false. That's all.
If you say so. But in fact programmed cell death is necessary for any embryo to develop. You would not exist without it. So I guess the alternatives are that you don't exist or the whole Bible is false.
Let me know which alternative you decide is the correct one.
