I am not against science learning, digging, and discovering. I think they hold themselves back when they ignore the earliest book in history.

...the earliest book in history...

What does "The Epic of Gilgamesh" have to do with science? True, Enkidu is an amusing psychological study.

Sorry, but there are stone tablets that ARE MUCH older then any story in the bible.

The bible is only 1800 years old, and some of the stories comprising it are probably close to 5000 years old, but that is far from being the oldest book in existence.

If I remember rightly some of the earliest stories and tablets have been found in Mesopotamia, if you are going to worship based on age, those would be it. Better learn to read another language though, because I doubt there is a King James version.
