Does someone promoting the Resurrection or virgin birth also look like a fool since science can easily prove both of these impossible and thus false?

The difference is between a first hand witness account, on a specific instant that was a ‘miracle’ (thus outside the laws of nature) versus an account transcribed long after some assume (Moses who wrote the first five books lived thousands of years after it is claimed by some, the events took place). ie. Christ was written as a first hand witnessed account, versus Genesis was written as an interpretation of past events, much different in literary discussion.

There is also far less ambiguity in the language. If you study the original Hebrew, you’ll see that the Genesis account is very poetic, using terms that may mean ‘young earth’ but could also, just as honestly, be a indeterminate amount of time and very different from this modern cartoon like description that some promote.
