The KJV is probably the one translation I would trust, in English, to get everything right. It has no omissions, footnotes, or even circumlocutions. It has the right word, based on a deep study of the text. In every circumstance where a Modern Bible retranslates a verse, the KJV had it right, and it actually preserves the older meaning.

Not to mention, if one can reach proficiency at understanding the KJV, the world of literature opens up to that person. By reading KJV English, you can read Spencer, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Keats, Longfellow... the entire corpus of English Literature opens up to them, and a wealth of knowledge becomes accessible.

One of the strange things about English right now, is it's destroying its own language by making word order its simplest form, which leaves people with an inability to access works of literature, in their original wordings. Which means, much of the nuance of a text is lost in translation into Modern English, whereas in the King James Version, you get a Word for Word translation in the nuances of the original language.

And where you may find a modern scholar skeptical of a word, where they'll replace it with another, the KJV is based on older manuscripts that are no longer extant. The KJV is actually more trustworthy than modern Jewish Bibles, it's more trustworthy than any other translation--short of the Geneva Bible or Tindale--and it doesn't destroy the syntax or meaning, but preserves them. 

The obvious fact is, many of our modern translations, use more current manuscripts from extant Jewish and Greek. Back when the KJV was translated, they had earlier manuscripts of both Greek and Hebrew to work with, making the translation far more faithful to the original tongue. Many political reasons have caused the Jewish People to retranslate their bible, and basically destroy the nuance, and the exceedingly clear passages of Christ, for on every occasion where Christ would shine through, Jewish Bibles, and now Christian Bibles, have obscured it from the original language, where it was clear.

The KJV is a superior translation, to any other Bible out on the market. The fact is, if one can read the KJV, they can read any literature in English. The KJV is, also, a very accurate translation, based on older and more accurate manuscripts (Ones without political designs, like the Masoretic Text or Codex Leningrad). And the KJV was the only Bible to date, in the English Tongue, written to make peace. All other Bibles were written with political or profit motives... the KJV was authorized to be apolitical, and be a chief translation, with only itself to bear. It had no political motives, it had no reason for existing, other than to unite English Speakers, and it had no profit motive, as nobody was going to make money from the book.

For this reason, I elevate the King James Version above all other Bible Translations, and would promote it as the chief Translation of the Faith in English.

There's actually a long standing tradition in the church--from the time of Augustine--that the "Days" in Genesis weren't literal days. And if you follow the Biblical account of Genesis 1, it does resemble, perfectly, the order Evolution would have occurred. Just saying... you don't have to stop believing in God because of evolution. That's a cop out argument, and is weak sauce. It just means you didn't want to believe in the first place.

Oh boy... Greeks used to speculate on Evolution. It's a concept as far back as 500 bc, in Pre-Ionian Philosophy.

But, I mean, the idea that the universe is self sufficient is an idea even older than that. Just about every known era of philosophy in history, dealt with it at some level. I do believe, philosophers like Aristotle and Plato had refuted the idea of the Universe's self Autonomy a long time ago. As did Aquinas and Augustine. As did Pythagoras, even before Aristotle or Plato. Pythagoras saw God in the figures of Geometry, that there was a coherent sense in the universe, that could only be sufficed by a designer. Like it will blow your mind, but Set Theory and Geometry are perfectly aligned. The same logic which defines sets, can be defined in length, width and breadth in Geometry. That's some pretty interesting stuff, there... that it can happen like that. It's never been refuted, and can't be. You can even expand that concept to Chemistry, Physics and just about everything that can be described. The sense that the same logic can be used to describe anything, shows a design to the universe. Like, the principles of Addition, Subtraction, Division and Multiplication can be used to describe all that exists, if ordered in the right manner. That's what blows my mind. The Rational. And then the empirical is the number. The rational exists through the numbers and how they relate to one another. Reason is like a predicate, and empiricism like a subject or object. I digress.
