Dear Anti Utopian
If one follows the science research of Ohio State University, Nova and Missoula Glacier Museum and then follow Genesis chapters one has to decide for themselves.
I have decided the only way Genesis can fit what we know in science is Adam lived prior to 10,000 B.C. and Noah was caught up in a glacier lake around 10,000 B.C.
The other two options is to cut and paste the world that a Creationalist can believe or that the World began 4004 B.C. As put forth by Arch-bishop James Ussher about 500 years ago. Any person can sit down and do his math. Man, animal, retile trees, Earth, sister planets, stars, novas, dark matter and the Big Bang began on a day 6000 years ago. This is what most churches put forth and confuses educated church goers.
So, there are the options.
After 10,000 pages of reading, miles of travel and study, I like my answer best. It fits inside accepted science best.
Most Sincerely,
Paul Pierett

God said, “If you eat of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, you will surely die.”
The Serpent said, “You will not surely die.”
Adam and Eve decided the Doctrine of God was the lie and the lie of the Serpent was the truth.
You have decided the Doctrine of God is a lie and the conjecture of God-hating men is the truth, so you modified Genesis and the rest of the Doctrine of God to suit yourself.
Speaking practically, you are no different than Adam & Eve or the Serpent, and are heading for the same punishment as them.
