I had to say "basic" because Evolution Theory is fine and can work with the bible, except for the part about mankind evolving directly--and without any outside interference--from apes.
How do you think the typical "man on the street" of 3500 years ago would have reacted to the news that we were descended from apes?
How do you think the typical "man on the street" of 3500 years ago would have reacted to the news that the universe is 13.77 billion years old?
How do you think the typical "man on the street" of 3500 years ago would have reacted to the news that most disease is caused by tiny, invisible one-celled life-forms?
How do you think the typical "man on the street" of 3500 years ago would have reacted to the news that one day, we would be able to fly to the moon and walk around on it?
Yes, he would say we were insane. That is why this stuff isn't in the Bible.
Don't make the same mistake.
