[Preachin']

"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.

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

Well you may consider the creation about vain babbling, however, I see very few creationists actually willing to accept what is instructed in Genesis. Guess one could say, unless and until what is said about the Who, What, Where, When and the Why given in Genesis, one would not know whom their loved is directed toward.
