Dr Gavin Young from the Australian National University discovered the evidence while analysing the fossilised remains of 400-million-year-old Devonian Placoderms - jawed ancestors of modern fish that were protected by thick bony armour.
Unlike all modern vertebrates, Dr Young discovered that the placoderms had a different arrangement of muscles and nerves supporting the eyeball, evidence of an intermediate stage in the evolution between jawless and jawed vertebrates. |

It is now. 
Unfortunatley, most of the bible is taken literally when IMO it is intended as a parable.

Actually it was always there, I just added the underline to make it obvious to old fogies.
I think the bible WAS intended literally, just as scientology texts are now. They're both wacky, one just has a few thousand years of history and institutional strength behind it. In three hundred years (provided we're still around) I'm sure scientology will appear much more respectable than it is today, sort of like jehovah's witness'.

It's certainly been interpreted litterally by the church.
