I must admit I never understood why evolution is incompatible with Christianity, I always believed that whatever it is that evolution supposedly is, is the way God worked.
The Bible says God created the world in 7 days, I don’t take that literally, after all a day is the time it takes for the Earth to revolve one time, it’s a man-made unit of measure. To God, a “day” may very well have been millions of years.
Actually, generally relativity says a day could be both 24 hours and a million years depending on the vantage point of the one doing the measuring. Time is relative.
A regular day is defined as having a morning and an evening.
And every day of creation was qualified as having a morning and an evening.
And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And the evening and the morning were the second day.
And the evening and the morning were the third day.
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Seriously, it’s a supernatural event. There is no need to appease the atheists by saying a “day” is a billion years.
I agree with you totally.
The Bible may contain some history and some biology and some astronomy. But its not a science or history book.
Its a moral and theological tome concerning God, man, and salvation.
But NEVER, NEVER post that in an Evolution blog here. They will crucify you - literally.

So you pick and choose what to take literally? Why didn’t god use words that we’d clearly understand?
