"By your tag line I suspect you have no time at all for anything in the bible."

I have no time for those that try to use the Bible as a science text with the intention of replacing sound science with fables and allegory. The Bible was written with an intention in mind, it was written by people who had no idea of the physical basis for their environment, but needed an explanation for events within that environment.

If you want to use it as a source of inspiration, consolation or even as a moral compass, then fine, but to attempt to use it as a source of geology, biology, physics, mathematics, astronomy, or any other science is a fools errand.

Like I thought. You have no time at all for the bible. You think it is just a product of human imagination. I suspect you don't believe in God at all. This defines your world view and therefore your theory of origin. Your world view defines your science, not the other way around.
