As always, the biggest problem with the Creationist vs. Evolutionist argument is that neither the Bible nor the current scientific explanation of the universe contain enough information.
God did not inspire the Bible as a means to explain the nature of the universe.
Scientists 'know' what currently is accepted as the makeup of the universe, and much of their 'understanding' is completely wrong. We can't even truly explain gravity, except by it's action.

B: No the biggest problem is ignorance.
God did not inspire the Bible as a means to explain the nature of the universe.
B: I think any rational minded person can agree with that.

B: What is wrong? And according to who? You?

B: Well, your 90 years behind the times. Einstein explained gravity as result of the distortion of space-time by the presence of mass. As to how that works exactly, I'm not really qualified to say, but if you Google "Higgs Boson" you might realize that there are explanations for even that. But your statement, taken at face value is wrong and numerous studies have been performed which show that Einstein's view of how gravity works is correct.It is not something that is known through interaction, it is understood theoretical grounds as well as empirical ones.
And never ceases to amaze how people believe every fool thing they read in a newspaper or on a bumper sticker is gospel.
Yeah, well, if you look at Gen 1 and take it in a more flexible way than the literalists do, it generally follows a system of evolution. It provides a first cause, namely creation of primordial energy. It discusses the boundaries of the universe when it talks about firmament.
It mentions Jesus in the first sentence (not by name). And there are many other elements that are pretty close considering the primitive nature of the Hebrew language and the knowledge and culture of the time of writing.
