Incorrect. It may be interpreted that he gave his commands in rapid succession, but there's no reason to believe that his commands were carried out in rapid succession, only that he (in his divine prescience) saw that they were good immediately after issuing his commands to nature.

Evolution is not special creation.
Correct.

If species evolve, they are not created.
Correct. Genesis states that God assigned the "bringing forth" of all the living creatures to nature (i.e., the waters and the earth), so they are not intelligently designed by God. Genesis equates 1) God creating the living creatures with 2) the waters and the earth bringing them forth in response to his command.

"And God said, let the earth bring forth grass ... seed ... fruit ... and the earth brought them forth."

"And God said, let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life."

- Genesis 1



Genesis specifies morning and evening of each day. This is undeniable. It's there for anyone to see and read. Morning and evening of each day cannot mean eons, millions or billions of years.
