Timing is obviously the major hurdle I have to jump over especially since
everyone (old earther theistic evolutionists and progressive creationists
also) are young-earthers when it comes to the creation of man. But I would
suggest that all of those recent creation views violate observational data
and thus are wrong. As Sherlock Holmes said, (something to the effect)
when all other options have been eliminated, what is left, no matter how
unlikely, it is probably the truth.

What about Divine revelation giving the info to Moses? Afterall, divine
revelation HAD to give the info on Chapters 1 and 2 which are also given in
detail. There was no human around for the first Chapter and a half to
observe and then pass things on. I get this question a lot and it is
interesting that often those who ought to believe in divine revelation
don't seem to believe in divine revelation.
