Well, the "got wrong" or "doesn't square with the tale told in the rocks" seems mostly to be things of timing. Note the sketched idea Genesis has of a progressing development of things, and over time. Some insight, no? Was it sheer luck?

I know too much science to be a young-Earther or anything of the sort. Bishop Ussher's 17th-c. calculation of the Earth's age illustrates what the mind will try and do with the data it has. But that does not make me into some kind of nonbeliever, for I can always say to the fundie: "If you are capital-O Omnipotent and Eternal, and have literally all the time in the Universe -- where's the wrong in taking your time and doing it right? Is there no Divine Wisdom in a Creation that goes of itself? Think of the bother an automatic universe saves..." and I can go on.
