First, only a fool tests God's word against man's highly falible 'science.'
Second, most of Genesis calls for a literal interpretation due to it's highly selective wording.
Third, there is nothing about a literal interpretation of Genesis that is at odds with real science (i.e. remove the propaganda from the science and there is agreement). The assumed great age of the cosmos is a refutation of our best scientific knowledge. Einstein's General Relativity removed the reason for assuming great age by explaning the dilation of time that takes place when space is expanded (all current scientific models conclude that space has expanded).
There is a lack of scientific evidence for a global flood at about 4350 years ago.
First of all, it is called God's Word by man, who is admittedly fallen. It is inspired by God, but it had to pass through man. That's why a litral reading is superficial. It's for sheep who fear to think for themselves.
So you are also declaring what is plain evidence flawed? You are calling God a fraud? That's what we see in His Creation. Look for yourself. You have not because you know looking at the real, physical world will shatter your conception of Faith. You can't handle the Truth. Second, most of Genesis calls for a literal interpretation due to it's highly selective wording.
Genesis calls for no such thing! I see nothing like that in the Bible. You claim it is literal. but there is nothing there that says it is. Like I said before, only those of shallow faith rely on an interpretation that is literal in nature. You seem to be the type of so called Christian who must shout with his ears and eyes closed in case your literal interpretation has any inconsistencies or contradictions.
And your comments abour Einstein and relativity show you do not know what you are talking about. Another example of someone so enraptured by a literal Biblical reading that they must warp and twist things to fit their preconceptions. If you want to spout Einstein, do it the right way. Post the equastions that show relativity supports an Earth about 6-10K years old. Even though there is tons of phyical evidence that it is much, much older. If you want to dismiss that evidence, then you are calling God a liar and you are not an agent of the Lord.
