The order that it's described in the Bible is exactly the same order that evolution goes in. They all argue about it just because they feel like arguing. They should be in agreement. The whole evolution-creation war has been over nothing. The Bible DESCRIBES EVOLUTION, and yet they can't get it. I say both sides are full of stupid people.

Your question is interesting, and am lately have been finding some interesting stuff too about it. Real science does not go against the Bible. Actually it agrees with the Bible. As sience improves, and new discoveries are made, scientists see that the Bible is true, the only problem is that some of them do not accept it, and just go around the Bible and make up some theories to support their findings. But many of them have already accepted that, evolution for example, cannot be true, that there's an intelligent design in nature and in the universe, so the Bible must be true after all.
Just think about what the people thought back in the days of Colombus, and even backwards. They thought the earth was flat, and there were some who even thought it laid on the shoulders of somebody out there. But the Bible already said: "he suspends the earth over nothing" (Job 26:7) and "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth," (Isaiah 40:22). So science have just proven the Bible.
Think about life. One single cell is so complex that we would need an entire encyclopedia to record its data. The way our bodies are made, they're perfectly designed and much more complex than a computer or a car. Actually, when you see the surrounding facts, you end up taking more faith to believe in evolution than not to believe. Look up what Dr. George Wald, Nobbel Prize winner of Harvard University, said: "One has only to contemplate the magnitude of this task to concede that spontaneous generation of a living organism is imposible. Yet here we are -as a result, I believe, of spontaneous generation" (Scientific American, August, 1954). [1]

Well, take care and God bless you!

Concerning the debate going on about intelligent design and evolution: is it possible that the final answer about which of these two seemingly opposite ideas is correct could simply be yes?
With one position firmly held by the believers and the other just as fearlessly defended by the non-believers, if you happen to be in a position somewhere near the middle, it does not look all that complex. From this position, you wonder why either-or has to be the answer.
If you believe that some higher being created the universe by intelligent design, what more elegant and intelligent design could there have been than a self-regulating system that continually checks its own errors and makes its own corrections in mid-stream as an integral part of the process.
This all seems quite logical to me although it probably won’t satisfy the believers because they are afraid to see any truth other than the one they have been told to believe in. Inversely it certainly won’t satisfy the non-believers because it leaves them stuck with a god that they are so obviously terrified of.
To sum up this view from the center, it might be most easily be explained by saying perhaps the designer was intelligent. Problem is, the designer was likely so intelligent that those seeking to prove that it is intelligently designed may be incapable of ever understand it well enough to see it for the elegant self regulating design that it has always been.
The nonbelievers will be similarly handicapped due to the internal terror the have about the idea that there may be a God. Neither side being able to leave their entrenched position for fear they may have to admit they were wrong. While the rest of us stand by trying to figure out what all the fuss is about. Personally I don’t think anyone is wrong, I just feel both sides are about half right.
Love and blessings

Darwinism, Natural selection, the origin of the species and much of the other science our society chooses to say is fact is in many cases not real science. At the time Darwin could not see irreducable complex machines in our own bodies such as cellium and other things that are very complex.
Cells in our body are as complex as a large city, you have so many things going on that Darwin could have never imagined. Their are motors inside us that move things around, they have to have information in order to know where to go. One of these motors turns at a rate of 60,000 rpm's and can stop in a split second and reverse directions. Man still can't build anything close to that.
Old science tells us that things happened by accident or over vast ammounts of time, if you really look at the truth it's almost laughable to think all of this happened that way.
Another example is gravity, if you think of it like an old radio knob, the round kind that you twist for volume. Say that the scale goes from 0 to 1 billion (10 hundred million) then our gravity would be set to 1. this is a very small number and really wouldn't say much except that if it was 0 no life could exist and if it was 2 the earth could only be 36 meters in diameter.
People need to wake up and see the truth. There are many examples of this and so much more. I will say that I am proud to be a Christian, I make no excuses for my beliefs, and I believe by faith that God created the earth. I am also not ignorant of mans science.
Many in the past have said that simple amino acids formed life (the primordial ooze), well thats fine if you have the right codes in the amino acids. Hey folks, your new science has discovered DNA, thousands of lines of it make up simple cells, the idea that it happened by accident or over time is ludicrise.
I will go with the Bible on this one and look for what is real, not just what is taught.

It's an undeniable fact that everything we've ever learned about the universe was discerned using reason and evidence. Nobody ever discovered one single thing through 'faith' or 'divine revelation' or any other supernatural means, in all of human history. As a way of finding the truth, religion is a complete and unmitigated failure.
So, no rational person could possibly believe religion rather than science, as an explanation for anything.

Either the unproven and unprovable theory of evolution is false, or the Bible is in gross error and there is no God. "Theistic evolution" is not a viable alternative, as it asserts that God "jump started" creation by creating all matter, laws, and primitive life, and then stepped back and let it evolve as the proponents of evolution affirm.
Let us begin at the beginning, since that is where God starts. The first four words in the Bible state, plainly and simply, "In the beginning God" and the remainder of the sentence tells what God did in the beginning: "created the heavens and the earth." Nothing alluding to a gradual evolution of matter and animals is even hinted at. Creation is the proof that God exists! It is His signature, His copyright, His lawful claim of ownership.
The Bible is clear. The teaching that everything made itself and is accountable only to itself instills doubt, corrupts morals, devastates lives, and separates people and nations from the true God.
Evolution is the "eyeglasses" through which many scientists-and even "theistic evolutionists"-view things. Everything they see in nature is either consciously or unconsciously interpreted as having "evolved." One philosopher once commented with tongue-in-cheek, "Evolution is the descent of man from monkey, which some people forgot to make."

Religion's an attractive offer if you don't mind living in a fantasy land of fairies and ignorance.
All that good versus evil, some one up there loves you, Making the world a "better" place, we're right their wrong, etc etc, must make for a very interesting life.
Unfortunately considering the fact that you are intelligent enough to make the above statements, it's highly unlikely that the dogmatic brainwashing religion utilizes will have any effect on you. sorry.

Think again, because scientific theories are forever changing by new evidences, one theory today is contradicted by another tomorrow, but in Christianity remains the same: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. So which one is the funnier, think again........

Who would you believe, person A or person B?
A: "god made me the greatest piano player in the world! You should believe me and not question it!"
B: He says nothing, sits down and plays up a storm.
Science is about evidence and proof, religion is about avoidance and profit. Only the wilfully stupid don't deal in the facts.

Theories are just that "Theories". This means they have no solid facts to back them up! The Big Bang Theory......well.....what scientist has been to the farthest reaches of space to find evidence of this one??
Honestly though, I do believe there was a "Big Bang"......When God said "Let there be light", I'm quite certain it would have looked like a massive cosmic explosion!
