The real problem is that the Sun is older than the earth, yet the Bible states Earth was created first.
Not that you're wrong, but I'd say the real problem is that there are still people over the age of ten who feel the need to contort themselves to laughable extremes just to salvage this story.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. As a reader, I love "Genesis" and much else in the OT (my esteem for the NT is slighter, though there are a couple of books I love). But nothing sucks the enjoyment out of these books faster for me than True Believers who insist I read them from the same faith-based perspective they bring to them.
