don't get me wrong, I hope there is a god and afterlife, because the thought that we all blink into eternal nothingness at death is pretty much the most depressing thought imaginable
Being a Christian does not require interpreting the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) literally. The creation story follows the evolution theory fairly closely as for as the order in which things appear...
1) Heavens and Earth
2) Light
3) Water
3) Vegitation
4) Moon
5) Sea Creatures
6) Land Creatures
7) Man
