"With all that. I like to major on the majors and minor on the minors. God id not half as interested in what we believe about creation as He is about whether or not we accept Jesus."

I cannot totally agree. What we are told in and about the creation is foundation for the rest of the story. One cannot ignore that the Bible is The Adam's story, his generations and those other peoples he and his generations came into contact with, all pointing to the flesh body of Christ.

Now as one follows the story there are continuous attempts made to distort and destroy that seed line, that says a whole lot about flesh and points and why what is said about the creation important to understand. One such interesting account is about Judah and his activities in carrying forth the seed line.

Also consider what we are told when The Adam was created/formed what his body contained. Remember we are told Let US make man in OUR image. Yet no such description is given to account for these US and OUR, in Genesis. The Adam is said to have been placed into a deep sleep and something removed to create woman. So would this not indicate that the original Adam prior to this operation formed in the image of God contained the masculine and feminine, giving a glimpse of the Creator?

We are told there are two days of creation and science/DNA gives the evidence. There is no way all peoples came from The Adam and Eve.

Man and woman are told they are to be as one, a unit to make a whole.

There is more we are told in Genesis.

"I cannot totally agree. What we are told in and about the creation is foundation for the rest of the story."

I am sure I've made enough of an argument that you know the creation story is important to me.

I agree that science is a major issue, and the creation story enhances the opportunity to discuss it.

The point is that sometimes we get so caught up in trivial arguments, that we don't have time to love people.

1 Timothy 6

20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

2 Timothy 2

16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

My thought is that until people know they are sinners, all the Biblical science in the world is futile.
