All the Abrahamic religions where humans are 'special' were cooked up when Earth was regarded to be the center of the universe. As we know better now, they should all be abandoned, and it's happening rapidly.

You might want to read up on the geological history of the earth, and then the evolutionary history of life. It does not comport whatsoever to the order in Genesis 1. You would start with the Hadean eon for example.

First off, a lot of your sequence has nothing to do with evolution. If you want to consider that sequence as to how the Earth developed, the sequence is off. For example, the planet was not originally covered by water. Water didn't occur until after the planet had cooled enough. Not to mention the little incident of when the Earth was struck by a Mar-sized object that ripped off the crust and parts of the mantle, liquefying the surface again and formed the Moon.

And that doesn't even touch on the fact that the seas were filled with a variety of living things before vegetation made its way onto land...

Then explain how given classes of things can be created on a given day as delineated by the Sun on a round world. The whole 6-day creation story only works on a flat world.

I don't recall anything about the earth being flat.
