And what makes you so sure that God did not use metaphors and symbols in Genesis?

Why would God be concerned about giving the precise scientific details of how he created the world to a bunch of primitive people who knew nothing about science?

actually, God is precise and accurate in all HE does. The Bible is a very scientifically accurate test. Moses knew that there was light in the universe (genesis Day one) BEFORE the sun and stars (genesis day 4 i believe). Modern science did not prove this until a few years ago with the COBE explorer.

Having studied failry extensively with a working knoweldge of a lot of different scientific fields, there is nothing in Genesis that is scientifically inacurrate or implausible

However, on the evolution side, don't get me started. It is a house of cards held together by a faith on facts much more tenuous than those that support Creation. Even leading evolutionists and Darwin himself admitted as much

Believing in evolution (macro evolution) is the ultimate Darwin award, I and I pray people don't have to find this out by meeting the Creator at judgement

I believe in God. I also believe the same as you. I don't think that "6 days" has to be taken literally; I think that evolution may not be at odds with the common beliefs how Christians interpret the Bible - just a matter of time and perception. I believe that it is enough to believe that there is such as Faith.
