5. Know what the Bible is – and what it isn't. The Bible is the story of God's relationship with the people he has called to himself. It is not intended to be read as history text, a science book, or a political manifesto. In the Bible, God teaches us the truths that we need for the sake of our salvation.

If you're reading the Bible as a science book, you're reading it wrong.

Translation: if you believe all that stuff actually happened.

Yes, I believe all that stuff actually happened. Just as you hypocritically (and in utter contradiction to your own position) believe J*sus was born to a virgin mother, multiplied loaves and fishes, walked on water, and rose from the dead. Did you not know that each and every one of these alleged events contradicts science? They couldn't have happened! If you believe they did, you are obviously reading the new testament as a "science book!"

BTW, for what it's worth, cosmogony isn't science at all. Science has nothing to say about cosmogony at all. It is wholly a Theological subject and the Torah is certainly theology.
