"Your whole argument is theological claims - that God created the universe per the verbatim account of Genesis. It’s pretty much the antithesis of science."

Don't be so certain of that "antithesis of science" bit. I'm a scientist, I find those Genesis claims -- and the sequence in which they are claimed -- to be testable, and I'm testing them.

I recommend and request that you read my

Perhaps it would be helpful to Jack of all Trades if he were to understand that you are comparing and cross-correlating two (of four) of God's Revelations to man: The Book of Holy Scripture (i.e., Genesis in this case) and the Book of Nature, a/k/a the Creation, a/k/a the natural world. And they do not contradict each other.

Your Post #84 should have made that clear to him by now. Maybe he needs to (re)read it more carefully....

The point is, there is nothing in science that contradicts God's revelation in Genesis. In fact, to the contrary, increasingly the latter seems only to confirm the former; e.g., Georges LeMaitre's Singularity, Alan Guth's cosmic inflation....

Just sayin'. Your illuminating Post #84 is the fruit precisely of your scientific testing! Thank you ever so much (again) dear Brother for posting it!
