"So science tells us this earth is far older than 12,000 + years old. What science has not and can not say is "WHEN" man in the "FLESH" was created.

True: Which is why I'm impressed with the fact that Genesis DOES claim that Man was created only AFTER domestic animals were created, after mammals (in general) were created, after birds (dinosaurs) and creeping and crawling things were created, which were only created AFTER sea creatures were created, and all coming after plants were created.

Exactly the sequence evolution now claims - 3500 some odd years after God revealed it the first time to the Jews.

[Just mythoughts]

Wait. The "creation" of man, which was good on the 6th day is not the same as the creation of "the Adam" on the 8th day. After the 7th day "REST" then there was no "MAN" to till the ground - farmer. Thus there are two days of creation which both are described as "GOOD".

Now if what Peter tells us is applied then the 6th day creation continued for 2000 years before the "creation" of "the Adam".

"Exactly the sequence evolution now claims"

Yes, this is what I've been waiting to see on this thread. Very confusing stuff, from biblical analysis to quarks, ack and quadruple ack! But this is the thing that struck me, it is the same order. In my opinion, I see no conflict. The more one looks, the truer it seems.
