Chemistry does not rely on the ToE. I've taken my share of college chemisty courses and the TOE never entered into them even once. It would be much more accurate to say that the ToE depended on chemistry.

As far as Bio, there's plenty to study there, too, that doesn't require the ToE at all. And I've taken those too, and while ToE is encountered more, the stuff I studied didn't *depend* on it.

So how is Astronomy and Chemistry *anti-Genesis*?

In the area of Parmecueticals (spell check reminder to self), the combination of Biology, Genetics, Medicine, etc. all work together and are predicated on understanding what makes A affect B, all of which are based TToE. I was over simplifying, so thanks for the chance to expand a little.

You can also be a programmer and use SQL without understanding the Relational Model. But you'll always be just a programmer. I don't know if that analogy is helpful, but the point is that to try to really understand WHY what is happening, you need to understand the foundation (in this case TToE).

So how is Astronomy and Chemistry *anti-Genesis*?

Astronomy says that stars are billions of years old and are suns similar to our own Sol. For strict literalists, this is NOT what Genesis says. Chemistry suggests that there are changes from the setup that God established. Again, not what literal Genesis says.

I was being exemplary and a bit over the top in the case of Chemistry but am serious about astronomy.
