[ I recall thinking the reply was odd because it disputed the notion of a common ancestor, a major claim of evolution theory. ]

Like Marxists over look basic obvious logic like there is NO free lunch, some(evos) can overlook that people must have come from an orginal source.. Common sense is not too common..

The best teachers can usually explain something quite simply.. lesser talented teachers must go into long drawn out explanations like they are in love with their own voice..

Works the same in "religion".. The truth is quite simple.. other than the truth; must be orchestrated like an soap opera.. Judaism proves religious soap operas do not work in the long term.. Jesus used short sweet metaphors as teaching instruments.. The first three chapters of Genesis could very well be the Rosetta Stone of creation metaphors.. Trumping any language or dialect..

Could be humans(of any age/eon) just can't grasp what it takes to re-model a planet let alone a solar system.. and that a metaphor is good enough.. Creating a sentient being is well beyond any humans understanding.. Could also be that the Dino's were before God re-modeled this place..

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

Indeed, the first chapter of the book of Genesis should make it clear to the reader that he will not be able to understand the words of God by his physical senses and reasoning alone. Ditto for the first chapter of the Gospel of John. And both start with "In the beginning..."
