Re: You're close
1. Sea-plants: Pre?Cambrian 531 million B.C.
2. Land vegetation: Mid?Silurian 365?380 million B.C.
3. Aquatic life: Devonian 255?316 million B.C.
4. Birds: Jurassic 131 million B.C.
5. Land life: Paleocene Epoch 50?60 million B.C.
6. Man: Late Tertiary Period 1?3 million B.C.
That's so far from what the rocks show that it isn't even funny. There were many sea animals in the Cambrian, there were invertebrates on land along with the first land plants, there was a enormous zoo of quadrupeds on land starting in the Devonian, a full 150,000,000 years before the first bird.....and that's all been known since maybe 1900. Your source is an apologetics source, not science. And the Book of Genesis specifically names grasses and plants bearing fruit as Day 3 creations - but dinosaurs were past their prime before either shows up in the fossils.
Try palaeos.com for a few sips from the firehose of what's known about ancient life.

"The wretched world lies now under the tyranny of foolishness; things are believed by Christians of such absurdity as no one ever could aforetime induce the heathen to believe." - Agobard of Lyons, ca. 830 AD

Re: Theistic Evolutionism???
Is there any member who doesn’t have some cognizance, however vague, that the Bible predicts this?
Is there an antecedent in the word salad that preceded this sentence for that final "this?" Does it perhaps refer to some "direction" in which you perceive societies to be moving? What the heck are you talking about, AC?
And "The flood is coming?" Your Book says not.....
