That's nice.
But, the bible isn't a science book, nor does it teach us about physical science, astronomy, chemistry, metallurgy, biology, etc.
Pray with it, just don't try to explain the world with it.
If we were to take your literalism to heart, we would still be living in the middle ages.
Sure it teaches about many of those things. Not in great detail all the time but enough and in terms that most people in the world can understand.
For example:
-In the beginning... The big bang theory.
-The earth was *formless and void*-the proto earth and solar nebula theory
-Let there be light - light takes time to travel and a celestial body needs to be a certain mass to ignite so there would have been a time without light.
-God created man from the dust of the earth - Shaped from clay [origin of life]--http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1515522/posts
- Eccles 1:6 Blowing toward the south, then turning toward the north, the wind continues swirling along; and on its circular courses the wind returns. The circulating system of winds
The universe expanded - Isa 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

Col 1:17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. - Gravitation, magnetism, strong and weak molecular forces.
Strange, isn't it, how scientists keep making these *discoveries* only to find the Bible there thousands of years before them telling them things that the people of those days had no way of knowing. How would they have gained the knowledge? It's almost like somebody would have had to tell them or something...
