A simple comparison revels the truth:

What actually happened, versus the Bible:

Enlightened, scientific version: A huge explosion occurs, Nobody knows who caused it, or how, or even where the materials that exploded came from, but it happened.

Bible version

* First day: God creates light (”Let there be light!”)[Gen 1:3]—the first divine command. The light is divided from the darkness, and “day” and “night” are named.

Enlightened, scientific version: All of this matter hurling through space slowly cools and begins to form into planets.

Bible version

* Second day: God creates a firmament (”Let a firmament be...!”)[Gen 1:6–7]—the second command—to divide the waters above from the waters below. The firmament is named “skies”.

Enlightened, scientific version: The planets begin for form atmospheres

* Third day: God commands the waters below to be gathered together in one place, and dry land to appear (the third command).[Gen 1:9–10] “earth” and “sea” are named. God commands the earth to bring forth grass, plants, and fruit-bearing trees (the fourth command).

Enlightened, scientific version: The planets begin to gather into solar systems around a sun

Bible version

* Fourth day: God creates lights in the firmament (the fifth command)[Gen 1:14–15] to separate light from darkness and to mark days, seasons and years. Two great lights are made (most likely the Sun and Moon, but not named), and the stars.

Enlightened, scientific version: One cell animals begin forming in the oceans. They evolve and eventually move onto land.

Bible version

* Fifth day: God commands the sea to “teem with living creatures”, and birds to fly across the heavens (sixth command)[Gen 1:20–21] He creates birds and sea creatures, and commands them to be fruitful and multiply.

Enlightened, scientific version: Evolution continues to produce larger and more involved creatures, until at last, man arrives.

Bible version

* Sixth day: God commands the land to bring forth living creatures (seventh command);[Gen 1:24–25] He makes wild beasts, livestock and reptiles. He then creates humanity in His “image” and “likeness” (eighth command).[Gen 1:26–28] They are told to “be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it.” The totality of creation is described by God as “very good.”

Ah – ha, at long last,

Enlightened, scientific version: None

Bible version

* Seventh day: God, having completed the heavens and the earth, rests from His work, and blesses and sanctifies the seventh day.

This should offer conclusive proof that the Bible could not have been as “smart” several thousand years ago as our brilliant scientists are today!
