Shouldn't this read "Ancient Hebrew nomads thought they knew better, because they came up with a creation story without benefit of science"?
Christians shouldn't care, since Christ's message is, pardon the term, agnostic toward the method God used to create the planet. Like many modern day intelligent design folks, if Jesus had stopped to explain the creation process in scientific terms, the people of Israel circa 30 A.D. would have spent too much time arguing for their myth and not enough time understanding His true message. As it was, He had enough trouble convincing them of that without throwing biology and geology into the mix.
