What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?

So you believe sharks were created before plants?

OFC not, but I'm not a silly creationist. I don't think that sharks or anything else were created at all.


We do know, though, that sharks as a species have been here longer than trees and much longer than flowers..both of which are plants and explicitly addressed in magic book.  

So if there was an order of creation, and some list accurately described it, sharks would appear earlier on the list than trees or flowers because they do appear earlier than trees and flowers....but this is not the order we find in magic book.  Just as we know that whales were land mammals and would then have to have been created when land mammals were created and not when sharks were created.

How do you know sharks have been here longer than trees?
