Not only does the time period of creation in Genesis 1 contradict the
time claimed for the evolution of all these things, but the order of
creation in Genesis 1 also contradicts the order of events in the
evolutionary story in at least 30 points. For example, the Bible says
the earth was created before light and before the sun and stars, just
the opposite of the big-bang theory. The Bible says that fruit trees
were created before any sea creatures and that birds were created before
dinosaurs (which were made on day 6, since they are land animals),
exactly the opposite of the evolutionary story. Evolution says that
initially the earth was a hot molten ball that cooled to develop a hard
crust, and then evolved an atmosphere that produced rain, and then with
the help of melted asteroids produced oceans. But Genesis says the earth
was completely covered with water for two days and then dry land
appeared. According to evolution, the earth has never been covered with
a global ocean. But according to the Bible the earth has been completely
covered with water twice: the first two days of creation and Noah’s
Flood. It is impossible to harmonize Genesis 1 with big-bang cosmology
or the evolutionary story of earth’s development.35
In addition to these contradictions, another obstacle to adding millions
of years to the days or between the days relates to the order. If the
“days” are figurative of long ages, then so are the “evenings” and the
“mornings.” But how could plants survive millions of years of darkness?
Or how could they reproduce if they had to wait hundreds of millions of
years before insects and animals were created that would pollinate the
plants?

The bible is just a big game of telephone. It's merely a "Once Upon A
Time" book of allegories passed through the centuries continuously
edited until the self-righteous religious leaders were satisfied with
it's contents and even now, it's all subjected to each interpretation.
This covers it, in a nutshell:
