Of all creatures which God created, it’s without a doubt humans were created superior to all other creatures. However, it is a fact that the whole world continues to evolve just as it did at the birth of its creation. Given that the Orthodox Church does not interpret Scripture literally but

The word orthodox, from Greek word orthodoxos ("having the right opinion"),
from orthos ("right", "true", "straight") + doxa ("opinion" or "praise", related to dokein, "to

norms, especially in religion. The Slavic Orthodox Churches( Russian Orthodox Church, Serbian Orthodox Church, Bulgarian Orthodox Church etc.) use word "Православље" (Православие), from Slavic word Право "true,right" and Славље (славие) "Celebrate", so, the "Православље"(Православие) means "Celebrate the True Faith".2 Orthodoxy is opposed to heterodoxy ("other teaching"), heresy and schism.

doctrinal coherence, the emphasis may be on heresy.…
