Re: The apologists defense of the literalist faith
Well, this question begs so many questions.
First of all, and for most, it assumes there is a God to begin with.
Can you show there is a God , so show that God exists independently of what people made up about she/he/it?

The insuperable statistics of original polypeptide synthesis offer one of many compelling proofs of Nature's God, as He is called in our Declaration of Independence by the Founding Fathers, who had no doubt whatsoever of His existence.
The human body has over 20,000 different polypeptides (proteins and enzymes), the largest of which is titin, with ~38,148 alternating amino acid residues in a precise sequence. The first assembly of titin was required before any new humans could possibly "evolve."
Please do not try to shortcut the synthesis by claiming that parts here and there were joined together from previous sites because the same statistics apply to any "part" however small.
Computing 1/20 to the 38,138 times 1/2 to the 38,138 for peptide vs. non-peptide bonds, which are equally probable, times 1/2 to the 38,138 for the L vs. D amino acid gives an overall probability of 1 chance in about 10 to the 74,000.
Distinguished statistician, Emile Borel, defined "impossible" as 1 chance in 10 to the 50th. Richard Dawkins defines "impossible" as 1 chance in 10 to the 40th.
10 to the 50th marbles one cm in diameter would fill 924,800 billion billion spheres the size of earth. Pick one on your first and ONLY try, if you think you can.
