Exactly. The only "screw up" is god's....for not giving the OP the 
imagination to think along the same lines you or I do. I just accept that 
this time-line discrepancy is something that we viewers are not supposed
to 
fully understand yet....but that doesn't mean the writers don't understand

it. As if they would make such 'errors' by accident? The very thought of 
that is totally ridiculous to me, and should be to anyone else.
