Of course, they didn't have the tools to see the history of the universe, as we have. Instead, they relied on their Bibles

I wonder what our future scientists will be jeering & laughing about what scientists today relied on ?

My point is clear, you made the claim that the Genesis account has been proven false. I'm saying no it hasn't, not by a long shot.

It won't be our telescopes. Period. A telescope will forever be the apotheosis of scientific instrumentation, as it has been since Galileo.

The only way you can make that statement is to reject the evidence.

For the 1 millionth time, ONE CAN NOT PROVE A NEGATIVE! It is certainly not up to us (or anyone) to Prove something didn't happen. THE BURDEN OF PROOF RESTS UPON THOSE CLAIMING SOMETHING. I can't prove Genesis isn't 100% accurate just as you can't prove the creation myth of the Dingalonggoogoo tribe of the Amazon (which states that a giant crocodile laid a giant egg and the earth sprung from within) is false.

The mechanics of evolution, however, are simply words on paper which try to describe how things came to be. I fail to see where that becomes so difficult for so many to swallow. As it stands, evolution does a darn good job at explaining things, and backs it up. To date, the christian version of creation has yet to bring a shred of evidence to the table as it always comes down to ONE word: FAITH. And I'm sorry, I wouldn't get on a plane if it was put together on faith anymore than I'll believe a creation myth based upon the same.
