JoenB75 - if you think that Genesis is a myth please would you explain to me why it is set in time?
Myths start 'once up a time' or 'a long, long time ago' - like the evolution myth does.

JoenB75
You say:
the basics of evolution although the Bible never adresses the issues of evolution, pro or contra
Please note - there are 365 DAYS in a common year. In a leap year you get 366 DAYS. In a lunar year 354 DAYS.
Whatever calendar you are on, those DAYS get grouped into months. We are most familiar with the 12 month calendar - so I'll say 12 months pass and that group of months is known as 1 year.
Now whether you believe it or not, the Bible states that Adam lived for 930 years. Therefore there must have been a DAY when Adam was created from which you start to count the 1st year of his life.
It is the same concept of a child being born. When it is born, it has not evolved. It has grown in the mother's womb for 9 months, then the point of birth is counted as it's birth day. Once the child has lived outside of the womb for 12 months it has lived for 1 year.
The Bible does not describe Adam as being in the womb for 9 months but created in one day. Thereafter living 930 years, then dying.
Now you don't have to believe that. That is your choice but the description of Adam's creation in the Bible firmly rules out evolution.

The woman was formed from man's rib.
It is way beyond mathematical probability for man to have evolved but let's say he did. Why did women evolve?
What made men and women marry? And why marry each other? Was it accidental or had TV already evolved and transmitted soap operas to encourage this behavior? Or was there something else? When did legislation evolve? Is there written contemporaneous documentation establishing exactly when legislation evolved?
Also why do men and women share this attribute - both cut down trees, turn the tree into paper and write on the paper 'save trees.' Other species don't do this.

So if he gives his fees to charity why does he need fees? And if he gives to charity why doesn't he do it privately? I suppose you could pay him $14.00 and ask him.
(Matthew 6:1-4) . . .“Take good care not to practice your righteousness in front of men in order to be observed by them; otherwise you will have no reward with your Father who is in the heavens. 2 Hence when you go making gifts of mercy, do not blow a trumpet ahead of you, just as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you, They are having their reward in full. 3 But you, when making gifts of mercy, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing, 4 that your gifts of mercy may be in secret; then your Father who is looking on in secret will repay you.

Got anything other that prof so-and-so's say so? Believe him cause he/she is like GB and knows better than you and me?
How much does David Fitzgerald charge for his book? And the subscription to New Scientist? I am surprised they can't give it away free given the money they must be making advertising gadgets, jobs, market research services, fine wines and airlines.
Ever wondered how academics get their positions? Just sayin'.
I know there are cognitive processes which replace God with a big number. But what if you take the big number out? And whether that big number is in or out, how do you end up at a year of a cow? What number is Cow?
Oh it is an era. Looks like the Japanese era names started in 140 BCE (Julian Calendar) during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. So this year is the year of the Vaccine. Cause the word vaccine comes from the word 'cow'. La vache.
The use of era names was originally derived from Chinese imperial practice. And although the Japanese use era names they use the Gregorian calendar.
So - so far we have Gregorian Calendar which by its very nature recognises Jesus Christ and the Jewish calendar which by its very nature recognises the creation of Adam. Then there's Iran. Anyone really want to go there?
