The problem is not Genesis. It is the pre-conceived agenda people read into the Bible to reach YEC and other stuff that is simply NOT IN THE BIBLE.

I agree, with the reservation that much of what we have today in Scripture concerning Creation is allegory.

"I agree, with the reservation that much of what we have today in Scripture concerning Creation is allegory."

Some clearly is, but not as much as you would think.

A literal reading --- without agenda --- is fairly harmounious with current science, and rapidly becoming harmoniuous as people learn more about the world.
