see, the issue I have with harmonizing modern science with Biblical narrative is the anachronism. If you say that the true meaning of Genesis only makes sense according to modern science, what you're really saying is that Jesus, his Disciples, the prophets, Moses, etc. did not really understand Genesis 1. I don't know if I want to say that.

But that's not what I'm saying.

Let's set Jesus aside, and let's talk about the non-divine... did the Prophets or Disciples understand every aspect of Genesis, including what happened in the gaps that even a literal interpretation of thousands of years would have to concede?

And getting back to Jesus, did He tell all he knew about all things?
