The problem with Genesis as a source of evidence is that it expects us to suspend our disbelief in order to accept things we would not accept in ordinary life. It does this as an uncorroborated, vague, here-say laden text. It also exemplifies the difference between science and religion, relying purely on scientifically unfounded faith. Science requires multiple sources that corroborate one another.
Religion has its place. Science has its place. Why insist on putting religion into science. If you fear science uncovering problems with your religion, make sure there are religious classes in schools that explain the two different worlds.

How many ways do I need to say it? Teach darwinism as a theory not fact. And allow other beliefs into the classroom. We do not need the dictatorship of the Darwinians in our society.

"The problem with Genesis as a source of evidence is that it expects us to suspend our disbelief in order to accept things we would not accept in ordinary life. It does this as an uncorroborated, vague, here-say laden text." Jesus, almost every New Testament author, fulfilled prophecy, archeology, and manuscripts corroborate Genesis.
Where is Genesis vague? "Here-say" laden? Citations please.
Genesis does not expect you to suspend your disbelief...God does.
God requires you to suspend your disbelief in regard to Jesus Christ, His only Son...that Jesus died on the cross to atone for your sins and then rose again. Will you suspend your disbelief in regard to God's Son?
Willingly now, or unwillingly later, your disbelief will be suspended.
The choice is yours and your response has eternal consequences.

Science in the Bible!
Job 36
26. How great is God--beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out.
27. "He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams ;
28. the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind.
29. Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion?
