The ultimate question !

we know that life emerged in stages but interestingly in the SAME ORDER as Genesis very simply relates

This struck me as a rather silly statement. According to Genesis:

Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky

then

Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind

Now the problem with this is that we know that land animals came after water dwelling animals, and then birds came after land animals. It seems to me that the Genesis account is in error here...

Ok you have a point here. I will look into this. I didn't know that about the birds. I've yet to read up on the fossil record from a non Christian perspective. I will though.
