Evolution Trumps Creationism

[Zazzy]

My theory simply states that there is no documented or implied time line between the end of a literal 7 day creation period, and the fall of man.

The rest of what I have to say is just one possiable way as to how the two orgins accounts could come together if there was indeed no time line between end of creation and the Fall.

It's certainly a way to twist scripture into something resembling harmony with scientific observation, but do you personally need to do it to be happy in your religion, or is this just a thought experiment for you?

Also, I have trouble believing that first-century authors would be so coy about such important information. True, they were big on allegory, but one could apply this same logic to any of the thousands of other creation myths out there and have it work just as well. And I would say that "7 days" implies 7 days, so there does seem to be an implied time line. I would assume that the authors knew what a day was.
