wrong on 2 counts. A. That only disproves the hardliners,the ones who think it happens word for word as said in the bible. A large section( i would say most, as most i have encountered are of this variety and i live in southern Alabama, but i have no statistical evidence to show this) of the christian population believes the bible is interpretive. More about ideals than events. Aside from that, the idea that Genesis was supposed to show the nature of god and not the reality of what happened has been around for a long time. So even disproving Genesis doesnt disprove a god or even the christian god.
B. God Could have made everything look how it does. Like he started a movie half-way through. It fits with the idea of the Christian God and doesnt contradict any scientific data.
See God isnt falsifiable. you cant disprove him. Any evidence you show can be explained as god makes it that way. its not a hard concept to master. Ok take my belief for instance. I go with what people call the Ant Farm Theory. God basically set the laws of nature, hit the play button and is just sitting back watching. No souls. No 7 days. just a cosmic movie for the Almighty. Now show me ONE SINGLE PIECE of evidence that comes close to showing i am incorrect. So technically i believe in ID but you can never prove me wrong. How exactly does this taint his meteorology. Whats your explanation for the energy the was compressed before the big bang happened, or what was there before membranes? See the big issue here isnt if god exists. Its about using factors completely unrelated to the science for deciding if the science is valid. Saying his science is crap because he believes in God is no better than saying its crap because he is hispanic, or because he like the color red. All are just personal bias which isnt science.
