   Observation of God's 2nd revelation in His creation provides the answer.   
   The time depth of life on earth began some 3.5 billion years ago.  The   
   species first appearing then no longer exist.  None of current species then   
   existed.   
      
   God revealed His plan over time, species bit by bit changed to produce the   
   above pattern, this is seen in His revelation.   
      
   Also in recent times dna reveals this same pattern; the species from which   
   two or more species emerged is found in each species dna pattern, and   
   backward in time for each generation f change .   
      
   God produced his pattern of species over time.  All of this can be observed   
   and a hypothetical pattern of a burst of all current species is completely   
   absent in   
   His record of creation.   
      
   His revelation in scripture was formed to explain in broad terms the above   
   history of the 2nd revelation that was then impossible to comprehend absent   
   science revealed thousands of years in the future..   
      
   With an ever brighter light of science God allows; He reveals more and more   
   and more of His 2nd revelation.
