"They will now, but until Mt. St. Helens blew, they generally didn't believe that many layers could occur at one time. Before that, they assumed that the layering within the rock, meant ages."

Excuse me? I remember reading years ago that Mt. Fuji laid down most of the Kanto Plain in a single eruption. I don't think you're correct there at all.

"As far as Asimov, Jesus considered Moses works to be authentic. That's good enough for me."

You want to show me where in the Scriptures we learn that Jesus couldn't tell a parable or an allegory from a literal account of facts?

Perhaps you think Jesus read, "There is nothing new under the sun" in Ecclesiastes, and decided that when a sandal-maker made a new pair of sandals he was actually making an old pair of sandals.

"Why on earth they still believe in Jesus when they just made Him into a liar, I don't know."

Extending and applying your line of reasoning, Our Lord made Himself into a liar when he said, "I am the good shepherd." He didn't keep sheep.

Jesus spoke of Noah and the flood as being real. Not allegory. He told the Pharisees that Moses told you about Me, not "the people who wrote Genesis who explained it the best they could told you about Me".

There is absolutely no indication that Jesus believed these were allegories. He believed they were real. Jesus said, "Before Moses I am". He was there. He knows what is real and what is not.
