There will always be a great divide between those who insist on pitting their interpretation of God against well established empirical evidence.
I'm pretty conservative, both politically and personally. I seldom jump on the bandwagon when trendy new ideas come down the pike. But eventually I will join those who see the earth revolving around the sun, rather than the other way round.
There are numerous commandments in the Bible instructing us to love God. I am unaware of any commandment to believe that Genesis is a literal history in the sense that science defines history.
Science may be of limited use in ascertaining what occured in the past. It (i.e., scientists) certainly does not have ultimate jurisdiction in defining history; God does.
8 "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates.
11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
Cordially,
