The idea that all living things were created within a span of a few days, each independent of another, is refuted by mountains of evidence. We have learned much about the planet and outer space that contradict what was said in the bible. For example, we know that the following assertions are not true:
1) The Earth is a flat disk in shape, like a dinner plate, and rests upon mountain pillars. There is also a mountain tall enough that from its peak, one can see the whole world -- possible only on a flat earth. (Isa. 40:22; Job 26:10; Prov. 8:26-27; Matthew 4:8; Job 26:11; Psalm 75:3)
2) The sun revolves around the flat Earth. (Joshua 10:12-13)
3) A metal dome, translated the firmament in the KJV, separates the sky from the chaos waters beyond. Holes in the metal dome let rain in in other words, the sky is a giant, upside-down colander. (Genesis 1:6; Job 22:14; 2 Esdras 6:41)
4) The stars are little lights in the sky that are capable of falling to Earth like meteorites. (Matthew 24:29)
5) One day can last 930 years. (Genesis 2:16-17 against Gen. 5:3-4)
6) Rabbits and hares chew their cuds, just as cows do. (Lev. 11:6; Deut. 14:7)
7) Pi equals exactly three. (1 Kings 7:23)
8) Some birds walk on four legs (Lev 11:20-21)
...to name but a few. I do hope that you also challenge people who say the earth is spherical, that it revolves around the sun, that there's no shell up in the sky (which, I suppose, means that space shuttles don't have to carefully navigate through one of this shell's many holes), that the stars we see in the night sky are truly light-years away from us, etc. People who believe these things are also doing so against that which the bible states.
The bible is not a science book. It is a collection of stories considered to be holy by those who follow the book. Those who don't follow the book read it as mythology. If you want to hold it up against science, then it must be subject to the same tests which science uses.
