Yes, it's very easy to explain things which Science is still struggling to fully explicate when you can simply exclaim, "A Wizard did it!"

3,500 years ago the book of Genesis said God created man from the dust of the earth. This was before it became chic for the Greeks to say that everything is made from the same elements (of course they had just 4 elements, but I'll cut them some slack for living a long time ago). Genesis was also before we had the periodic table of elements, with us now believing mankind to being carbon based. Some "wizard", huh?

It's also fascinating to me that modern archaeology supports the sequence of animals appearing in the Genesis text (plants, fish and birds, land animals, man).

And where do we believe the first human civilization was? Mesopotamia was in the Fertile Crescent in modern day Iraq -- where Genesis says the Garden of Eden was between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

The Bible isn't fiction or behind times. It's taking us thousands of years to catch up to the Bible.

That describes the Panspermia theory very well. And the reason why that theory came around was that the statistical origins of life forming by chance were determined to be on the orders of trillions of trillions of trillions to 1.

Umm, tvtropes.com is not a website for scientific or philosophical arguments, it’s a site listing commonly used “tropes” by fiction writers.
