[Modernman]

God gave us His Word, not some "allegorical centuries-old text" that you look down upon. It is Life and Truth.

I don't look down on the Bible. I look down on people who rely on a vague, general creation-myth as a science textbook while ignoring the evidence in front of their own eyes.

People who reject reality reject God. I imagine that Creationists find themselves in a bit of hot water when they meet their maker and have to explain why they actively rejected the evidence of his creation.

"People who reject reality reject God."

The Word of God says otherwise.

2 Cor 4:18 - So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
