Abshalom,
I think, perhaps, I might like to try to provide some information on this topic like that which you had asked for. I am often bothered by the straw man arguments I see presented on this site which are basically a take on a passage of scripture that is somehow erroneous.
Two things first (should you be interested):
I am not at all suggesting that I am somehow superior or that my knowledge of the Bible is unequalled or any other such worthless garbage.
But
I have studied (am studying) to some extent and would presenting information from the position of scripture and not from a scientific viewpoint necessarily. I am not saying I reject science, just that I really don't have much of an education in that field. And since this forum seems to be dependent on discussions fueled by that kind of background, I don't know that I can help at all. I will agree to following an order of logical presentation.
Well, I don't know if my take on things will help reach the end you are stretching for but nonetheless, there it is. Let me know.
