Archaea is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Religious principles are true

but interpretation of historical and scientific processes are not necessarily correct, as the interpreters frequently lack all the principles necessary to construe them in totality.

That's the difficulty of being an apologist. We simply don't know enough to make a proper construction. And religion has tried at times to make declarations about whether the world was flat, when those facts really don't matter as far as religious discussion is concerned. For the most part, religion is about personal behavior, not scientific discovery. Of course, true religion is about all knowledge, but frequently the gaps between the disciplines are so large, we're not clever enough to bridge the gaps. It's akin the Hawking's Grand Unification Principle for physics, we're not bright enough in many instances to accomplish that which we seek.

Add to that, revelation is much more complex than we believe.
