I've heard of that one several times over the years, but I don't think it
affects the debate one way or the other, because a literalistic reading of
Genesis would still assert that everything from 1:2 on took place just
6,000 years ago or so, and evolutionists would still assert that it took
all those lifeforms millions or billions of years to evolve.
