editor-surveyor: "You do not understand what 'science' is, apparently.
Science is the gathering of information."

Oh, but I do understand, and it's you who are deeply mistaken.
In fact, by US law and tradition, our word "science" is short for our Founders' term "natural-science" which is expressly limited to the search for natural explanations of natural processes -- explanations you mistakenly call "propaganda", "politics" and "manipulation".

The truth of the matter is that today's word "science" is the result you get, when you exclude all data and explanations which are not "natural".
Sure, editor-surveyor doesn't personally like it, that's obvious, but it's still the fact nonetheless.

So, I'll repeat, as regards Genesis, Genesis is not about natural-science, but rather about God, how God created nature, how God rules over natural-science and how, on occasion, God over-rules science.
And my key point here is, if you can't believe that, then you are not really a Believer, period.

editor-surveyor: "Do you really think that aligning your self with academia makes you look 'intelligent?' "

No, my "alignment" is with our Founders' understandings of the term "natural-science", regardless of how "intelligent" you may, or may not, suppose me to be.

To: BroJoeK

were you a believer, and studied in the word of God, you would have known that there are no “natural explanations of natural processes.

The reason would be obvious to a believer:

The universe is not something that occurred by “natural” means, but by a deliberate work of special creation.

The fact that all that has been promoted in favor of “natural processes” has been shown to be fraudulent should give you pause.

All things physical that exist were planned.

No understanding is evident in your posts.
