I think enough time has come and gone from when you posted the above, that a response is not out of order now.
So here it is.
There is a lot of work and a lot of struggle to the idea that some of us have that we need to fight against science in order to stay true to the Bible.
But its pointless.
The efforts of people who write books that attempt to fight against science and evolution are silly and foolish.
There simply is no need for all that stuff...all that effort.
and.....the simple fact of life is, , is that the very same people that are attempting to defend the words of the Bible are the same people that turn out to need to make the first words of the Bible mute.......
and the first words of the Bible are- "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"
The people that think they defend the Bible, dont like what this is saying...they dont want to take this first verse of the Bible literal.
If they took it literal, then all of the Young Earth Creationism teachings fall like a house of cards.
