So let's see if I've got this straight.

You (alone, apparently) are suggesting that the time span (in Genesis) between "In the beginning..." and "GTFO of Eden" was 5.4 billion years minus 6,000 or so?

Edit to add - ... and that during this time, the Earth and all of it's life forms evolved as they appear to have done, while inside of Eden, everything happened according to Genesis?

Pretty close!

so during the 5 odd billion years where life evolved outside of Eden into these monkey-men of which you speak, who are(genetically) identical to humans but have no soul.

And considering that man is made in gods image.

It would appear then that evolution seems to have done a remarkable job in building an exact replica of Gods image using only the power of natural selection(minus the soul of course)... ?
