I'll read that post later, but just wanted to quickly post that I agree that the Bible and Science jive in many, many ways.

IMHO comparing genesis to approval of slavery is a little extreme.

Was the Bible not used to justify slavery? I was not comparing use of the Bible to justify slavery to Genesis. I was pointing out an example of a change in our understanding of the Bible. We no longer believe that the Scripture justifies slavery because our outlook on the world is different than it was in the US south before 1865. The Biblical passages that were so used are still there; we just understand them differently.
