You're right. I dismissed it once I realized it was apologist. I shouldn't have done that.
I've tried to understand your theory, but it's frustrating because it seems very convoluted. There is no reason to think that the "man" created on day 6 was outside the garden, and no reason to believe that chapter two happened before day 6. No reason at all. You're reading into it somehow, which I really don't get because it's all pretty clearly laid out. By the way, if God wanted one day to equal billions of years and the other six just be one day (if I'm hearing you correctly), He surely would've made a distinction, don't you think?
The Bible is not a complicated book, you're making it complicated because you're trying to fit a false narrative. You are apologizing unnecessarily.

Riddle me this, what has opposing science done for the church? who is winning this battle truthfully.
In earnest the church is loosing this battle simply because people want to pass their college courses and get a job they don't have to sweat at to get paid..
Why not try something that works with both?what does the church loose besides a dark age traditional comprehension of God? Nothing in the bible changes again we only show how the bible wording allows for anything science says you need to accept in order for you to earn your degree. Why would you or anyone else be opposed to someone whocan assimilate everything science has to say and not change a word in their faiths? Again this is not a compromise, this is an assimilation. this is no different when the catholic church assimilated the winter solstice celebrations and gave us christmas trees yule logs and mistletoe, or halloween or easter EGGs and rabbits. now people have their pagan holidays and our God gets the glory!
There probably is a "scientific" explanation for everything, at least everything that explains creationism so long as you exclude the creation of matter, which had to have been a supernatural feat. There is no other way to explain that, PERIOD.
The Lord hates unwarranted, incompatible mixture, Drich. Assimilating foolish doctrine like the Big Bang and evolution with Genesis is the same unacceptable behavior that has wrought destruction on so many occasions in the Bible.
The catholic church assimilating pagan holidays didn't give glory to God, and neither do those celebrations today. Christmas and Easter are vile holidays, and the Lord hates them. There is no compromise allowed, no assimilation allowed, EVER.
