Well, I'm certainly not here to proselytize you. All I can tell you is why I believe what I believe and let you consider that. I teach classes on this for non believers and we spend a lot of time going over the scientific evidence that supports the literal interpretation of Genesis. From my observations, a lot of nonbelievers are amazed when they find there is a lot of good science that supports the Biblical creation account.
The important thing is that you have accepted Jesus Christ. All the rest is fun, but is just window dressing compared to that.
