I was saying "This is most certainly true" - until I hit your
last sentence! Ps.23 is true but didn't "actually happen" (unless you
eat grass), & Gen.1 & 2 are both true, but the the non-human animals
were not created _both_ before & after man. But we've been over all
this before.
Your more fundamental point is profoundly correct. Christians
who insist that evolution & Christianity absolutely cannot be compatible
should be required to memorize Mk.9:42.
