I don't believe you understand my point. I don't care what your Biblical interpretation is. Your interpretation of the Bible matters not one whit to my own morality, or my ability to maintain a moral system while recognizing the world around me.
Did you want to debate Biblical interpretation?
Not even a little bit. You interpret the Bible however you like. Just don't pretend that science has to modify its conclusions to suit your interpretation of a religious text, and we'll do fine.
Why is your interpretation superior?
I certainly never claimed it was. But I'm not the one insisting that my interpretation of the Bible should supercede a an entire field of science that has been supported and refined over the course of a hundred years, so that's not really my burden to bear.
If you wanna have that debate, say so.
Again, you miss the point. If you can't reconcile your own faith with the natural world, that's your problem. Its not my job, or that of science, to make you comfortable in that regard.
But if you accept the whole 4.6 billion years kit-n-kaboodle
Oh, my. You really do think that the earth is only a few thousand years old, don't you? Oh, my.
