" ... shimrod charges that creationists only rely on the bible on origins. in one sense he is correct since we believe it is based on history as well as [what we believe] is revelation.
but it is consistent with science ."

I've no doubt that the Bible is "based" on history - but that doesn't mean that it contains the absolute truth. As for "revelation" - that just means that you believe that something has been revealed - why should I believe it and why should I be impressed?

It's NOT consistent with science - and every scientific observation and measurement takes us further and further away from the biblical account of " Creation". In fact, we're now so far away from it that it disappeared over the horizon years ago!
