Shubi - I think you're missing the point. One dosen't need a bunch of highfalutin booklearnin' when the truth is passed directly from the almighty. But I do have one question I've never heard addressed (and this isn't directed only to you, others may be able to answer it): If God is omnipotent, why did he have to rest?

You need education to do science, though. I know some people that have a good understanding of the Bible, through the Holy Spirit, but creationists are not them.

Your question about omnipotence is a good one. The Genesis text must be taken as symbolic in many cases. Often, it is told from a primitive understanding of people at the time.

Do you think that explaining molecular biology would have worked very well 3 or 4 thousand years ago? I don't think so.
