In fact, the more and more we discover about the origins of the universe and civilization, the more accurate Genesis appears to be. Science and religion go hand in hand.

The point in Genesis where plants appear is out-of-place, but otherwise it's a fairly accurate, simplified version of what science is showing us.... About what you'd tell someone living 3,500 years or so ago.

Stephen Hawking makes some interesting references to this concept in "A Brief History of Time". He claims that as the physicists on the cutting edge of cosmic theory get closer and closer to the so-called "beginning of time" and look further into the evasive "singularity" theories the more convinced they become that everything is too nice and neat to be purely accidental. Contrary to what many may believe, he claims, individuals at that level of science are not as dismissive of a "guiding hand" in creation as many laymen might think. Perhaps this is why many in the field describe the search for the moment of the Big bang to be trying to "read the mind of G-d."

Interesting.

Since human beings can mis-use either (which might make your point - hmmm) I prefer to say, "All Truth is G-d's Truth."

Shalom.
