The orginal speaks of the events inside of the garden and does not speak of an time line outside of the literal creation account.
what is not right is your understanding of traditional Hebrew accounts/story telling.
We've had this discussion before. Jews then did not give a straight chronological account of an event. They started with an over view from start to completion and then went back and filled in the details the over view did not include.
And may I ask who was there to witness all of this?
Moses was shown these events and recorded them (He wrote the Pentateuch the first five books of the OT)

Because no one truly knows what happened. I know what the bible says and I know what science say as of 1993 plus or minus a few dozen documentries since then, and I can honestly say I do not know what happened, nor am I persumptious enough to claim absolute knoweledge on events that happened a long time before anyone could possiably and absolutly know.
So, one thing says that, with literally no scientific evidence to back it up. One thing says this, with tons of scientific evidence that converge upon this theory, and the two are equal to you? Is that what you're saying?
Science doesn't just assert things, Drich. It follows the best available evidence. The Big Bang theory is currently the best explanation we have (although I've recently heard of an interesting other theory that is apparently well evidenced, also - watch this space). You can't just equate it to a storybook that was literally fucking made up.
Faith in facts is still faith. 'Facts' Change all of the time, the faith one has in ever changing Facts, is the his current understanding/configuration of facts is the correct one.
