Theories of creation that include a rib woman and talking snake just don't persuade. I'm sorry.

When it comes to "miracles", the "theory of evolution" makes the biblical account look like a piker.

Hardly. Mutations happen all the time. We know that. They have been observed. It isn't a miracle when one or two out of millions happen to help an organism. That observation, combined with the exponential growth in the number of organisms, combined with a great deal of time, make evolution plausible.

The one-step creation of man from dust has never been observed. The creation of a woman from a rib has never been observed (though scientists may one day accomplish this -- would that make them gods?) Talking snakes have never been observed. That makes the story of creation implausible.

Oh, it might have actually happened. It can't be completely ruled out, but it's much more likely a mythology created by desert nomads that were simply ignorant, and from their ignorance came a magical "explanation".

Their 2000+ year old hypothesis is a very weak one.
