The men of god in the bible describe a close to 6300 year period from the creation till now, and we know evolution would not having taken place. Evolution dictates that the origin of species link back to possibly a simple celled organism that resulted in mulpiplication of others, then evolution had taken place over the years as more living organisms multiplied and had to adapt to alien environments, and you know how it goes from there. The genesis story depicts SEVERAL "KINDS" of creatures being created all at once, not what evolution would dictate and predict to happen. The genesis story completely contradicts this scientific theory. THATS FACT BRO!!!
I think you're reading this from the perspective of how you were taught as IFB... and by the way, I'm really sorry you had to grow up in that culture. That is an absolutely terrible sect of Christianity and I wouldn't begrudge you for being pissed off at religion in general if that's how you feel.
Anyway, IFB takes a literalist approach and they whitewash inconsistencies. They both believe that the bible should be read literally in the manner they happen to interpret while also ignoring the inconsistencies that pop up as a result of their interpretation. Rather than just step back and read the words that are on the page, they dictate to the deity they love so much what he must have meant.
The definition of a 24 hour day as we know it isn't supplied until day 4. The bible describes a day as being a period of time going from darkness to lightness. While the common definition of "day" as we know it today is a 24 hour period, that is not the definition that is given in the bible.
