The claim that Genesis "supports the scientific view" is ludicrous. The universe was not created in six days six thousand years ago. And there is no scientific method in connecting the real to the imaginary. That is the opposite of science. It may have been a lot of work, and it may have even been methodical; but starting from your conclusion ("the bible is true") and working backwards to find supporting evidence is not science.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('6158','dwasifar'); return false;">Reply</a> | <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('6158','dwasifar','Here we have a good example of religionist revisionism, trying to rationalize away the flaws in the \"perfect word of god.\" The claim that Genesis \"supports the scientific view\" is ludicrous.

@Mr Fnortner…yes, any group, any human gathering can be “a screwed up bunch of people”!
