All this Creationism foolishness would evaporate when men of the 21st Century remember that the Bible is NOT the word of God, but it is the stories of men who lived 25 centuries ago, stories passed down by word of mouth, with multiple added stories, interpretations and translations.
It is simply a written recitation of a 2500 year old children's game of "telephone."
The Creation was included in those stories because man needed a way to explain the start of the world and 2500 years ago, they didn't have the scientific skills to understand evolution.
Just as men has abandoned the flat-earth theory, the falsity that the Earth is the center of the universe, and the once universally accepted theory that little devils caused musket balls from smooth bore guns to veer off course, but rifling spun the balls and bullets, so the devils fell off, someday, we will understand that someday science will tell us exactly how the Earth, the solar system, and everything else was created... and we can all chose to believe that was, or was not, God who did it that way,
