Jesus, Peter and Paul all referred to Genises as if they accepted its literal authority.Your argument is with them not me

Again, we must understand the speaker and the audience, as well as the intention of the message.

Jesus did not come here to teach us about the origins of life in the universe. Had he spent his time trying to explain the big bang and how we are all products of this initial act of the creation of matter and how life grew on this one tiny planet where the conditions were just right, etc. etc., He would have lost and confused His audience. And He would have failed to make His point, which was not to teach the Hebrews science.

All Scripture shows Jesus and Peter and Paul doing is using allusions to the shared cultural history that their audiences would have been familiar with.
