I knew this would be an old topic, but no way was I going to read through this entire website to find previous debates.
Drich, do you know what ad hoc means?
ad hoc: the addition of extraneous hypotheses to a theory to save it from being falsified
Now, that is exactly what your post does. It alters the meanings of the Biblical writings, and interpolates a great deal of speculation just so Evolution can be applied to Biblical revelation. Your theories turn Biblical "facts" into metaphors, just so the Biblical timeline can "work" with the evolutionary one.
Although your post explains a lot of things moderately well, they are far less provable than anything Evolution has ever stated. It's just Christians trying to keep their ideas from sounding like myth, and so it adds a lot of unsubstainable hypotheses ad hoc to make the Bible sound logical.
It fails.
