Science can't ever be integrated into a literal reading of the bible for obvious reasons.

I don't think the Bible was intended as a science book, nor should one even try to integrate the two. I sure wouldn't try to read a genetics textbook for advice on how to treat my neighbor, and I wouldn't use the Bible for lessons on similarities between the human and chimp genome.

Bears repeating, since people so frequently make that elementary mistake....
