If I look at it through a biblical lens, then the flood caused the "Expanding Earth Theory" introduced by science and not a clergy. Well, that expansion ain't too long ago. So the earth expands and eventually there is a hot spot in the pacific that makes islands far, far away from continents. Not too long ago.
Some shit happened here! Whatever happened is natural and explainable!
God Himself is NOT supernatural! He made this stuff, He didn't create a damned thing! Nowhere in the bible does it say "God Created". All such verbiage is translated into it by people whom manipulate Scripture! However, if we look closer, the bible only says make, form, build, establish--no "magic"! No "from nothing"! If we understand vacuum mechanics then nothing will ever need be "from nothing". Building blocks are building blocks!
Whatever happened here is from something natural, not magic evolution and not magic God! And whatever it was, was extremely fast!
I think that evolution is real to a logical point but, the long millions of years pre-biblical superimposed on biblical is going to work against you if we do not consider Hawai'i. And, do not recognize how ridiculously fast modern life came into being and is evolving compared to 4.56B years of existence.
We get it. You have a hard time wrapping your head around such long stretches of time, and around evolution in particular. Sorry no one can help you with that to your satisfaction. I however am not at all distressed by that which causes you distress. I don't feel entitled to know exactly how everything has come to be, but I am grateful to science for making so many answers available.
There isn't anything wrong with the theory of evolution. It is every bit as respectable as the theory of gravity or the theories of optics.
