I think you have me pegged wrong on the Bible account. Actually you have it backwards. I admittedly would like to see that the Bible agreed with Science. That does not mean that I want to mold the data into my interpretation, or that I am a literal creationist. At most, I would state my position as: There is much evidence to suggest that our ancestors that were living in the biblical time frame were far more advanced than we give them credit for, and I would like to see them vindicated by their own writings, regardless of which source text it came from. -We, that is modern society, have a tendency to downplay their intelligence and accomplishments to fit in with the Theory of Evolution. I.E. They must have been grunting cave men because we have to show that they evolved into our brilliant selves. Which to me comes off as ignorant chest thumping. With all of our technology we have not been able to recreate some of the wonders that they achieved without it. Without our technology, they made cosmological predictions that have withstood the test of time. These were not hairy grunting ape men. They were not un-evolved versions of us. They were bigger, faster, stronger, and I suspect smarter, than we are. What they lacked was the sheer numbers of people that we have today.
