jack...actually, neither do I see genesis as a science textbook...it is a historical record.
I,m pleased to see you trust Christ for salvation ,as do I. but I also trust his endorsement of genesis as history. it seems more consistent somehow.

I see Gregg is still labouring under the delusion that being creationist disqualifies from being a scientist. on the other hand , I think you can still be a good scientist despite thinking that the principles of causality and biogenesis can be bypassed!
but perhaps it is not me that is the raving fundamentalist!
