I believe the Bible is God's Word

[Paleophyte]

For millennia, the first two verses of Genesis were thought to be only poetic.

And recently it's been shown that all of the other verses are as well.

However, they have been shown to be scientific in recent years.

Nope. That's called cherry picking the data. Kindly observe:

Verse 1 - The Universe has been determined to have a beginning (Ref: the space-time theorems) as shown conclusively by authors George Ellis, Roger Penrose, and Steven Hawking in the early 70’s that the 4 dimensions can be traced back to a point of singularity (one dimension).

Pretty hilarious that you use the term "conclusively" there when there's been no conclusion about the origin of the universe or even if there was an origin. What the scientists that you're misrepresenting here have actually stated is that if you extrapolate the laws of physics backward you arrive at wrong answers like singularities. Singularities are the divide by zero errors of physics and they demonstrate that something is dreadfully wrong with your model. We know that the models are wrong because when we extrapolate them backward, Relativity and Quantum Mechanics give different wrong answers.

Genesis 1: 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. *
*Ancient Earth may have been a "water world" without any dry land

So is the Earth formless and empty or is it covered in waters? Please make up your mind. Also, is the "Spirit of God" actually a stork that wandered out of a plagiarized Egyptian creation myth?

But let's not get stuck on theological details like trying to make sense of those ramblings. How does any of that have anything to do with a speculative pop-sci article on the conditions on Earth some 3.24 billion years ago? You might want to note that the world had been around for over a billion years at that point and that the "waters" had a run-in with planetary accretion and the Rhea impactor a bit earlier in the story. At the energies produced when planetesimals collide, you're no longer dealing with anything that can properly be described as "waters" since it won't even have intact molecules. And you definitely won't be hovering over whatever exotic high-energy matter it becomes. Well, not for very long at any rate.

Oh, and the universe had been hanging out for a bit over 10 billion years by that point. You'll need to revise that scripture to read:

"And the Lord moved over the primordial quark-gluon plasma
And was instantly incinerated and photodisintegrated
And Lo! then did cosmic inflation remove all trace of His Dumb Ash
Except for the faintest lingering echo of "Fuuuuuuuuuuck!" imprinted in the Cosmic Microwave Background."
