       As an aside, when thinking about things like evolution, just look at the theory with a fresh set of eyes. Just think logically, with the wisdom that God has given you, and it's easy to see truth and debunk error. Usually, it can be done simply. Undoubtedly, someone out there at this point is thinking, “But doesn't the Bible present the earth as flat, instead of round? Doesn't that prove the Bible isn't scientifically sound?” The answer to this concern is that, “No, the Bible does not teach the earth is flat.” This is simply debunked by the verses, “Do you not know? Do you not hear? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is he who sits above the circle of the earth” (Isaiah 40:21-22a, ESV). Not everyone 'of old' believed the earth was flat, like Christopher Columbus and his men. This is an old wives’ tale. But then the response might be, “What about when the Bible talks about 'the four corners' of the earth?” Stop and think about it for second. This is no different than today when we use a compass to differentiate North, South, East, & West.
