Constable Dorfl,
I commend your efforts here. Really.
you bring up good points. I'll address them as well as I can.
I subcribe to the belief that the 6 days in the creation account are aeons. Admittedly this is more aligned with the Qur'an, but isn't refuted exactly, by the bible. As far as stars being simple fixed lights; I would need to read the verses and surrounding verses that state such in order to give an honest opinion.
I haven't read where it equates man to GOD. It does state that we have dominion over the rest of life, and though we generally abuse this, it is observable. No where does it say that man nor life adapts or changes over time due to habitat.
I've heard of people claim the bible states that the earth is flat, but haven't read it for myself. And I'm pretty sure it was early scientists who originally insisted the earth was flat.
As far as the flood is concerned; either the flood of Noah was over an entire region( middle east) and was interpreted as the whole earth because it covered the whole earth as far as they knew, or it was world wide due to an ice age. This is pheasable as we do not know when it happened, but we do know there have been multiple ice ages on earth.
The bible isn't for the explaining away of physical phenomena, that's what science is for. The bible is for the direction of man through the conscience, for the benefit of all life.
GOD exists in all life.
Faith in selfless Unity for Good.
