Metaphysics, ontology, origins, truth? They're all fair game so jump right in and have some fun! But remember...play nice!

They are separate realities in the Baha'i writings, and I provided references describing this.
You persist in being an absolute litralist, not only with the Bible, but the Baha'i Faith and other religions when it suits you to justify your agenda. I cited Baha'i writings that openly contradict your biased assertions, but you choose to ignore them. Based on the citations. The Baha'i writings describe both a cyclic spiritual evolution in Revelation, but also an evolving physical evolution, in particular specifically of the evolution of humanity from the animal kingdom.
the Baha'i writings do not date the physical prehistory of the evolution of humanity, but based on the citations I provided that describe human evolution in the animal kingdom it relies on science for th knowledge of the physical history and time frame of our existence and the evolution of life and humanity, because of the belief in the Harmony of Science and Religion.

True, The Baha'i Faith believes in Divinely direct evolution, ie Theistic Evolution. Regardless of form of appearance humans were always intended to be human. The Baha'i Faith does not define the time frame of evolution. It accepts the physical evolution of life and humanity as described as the Science of Evolution.
