Then you're only interested in current science?
Science constantly moves. I'm not saying that I think that the bible is concerned with science, but it does record what people in history held to be their best understanding of the material universe.
What's more worrying is that you think it is a science book.
That's at least part of what Genesis is, is it not? Why bother trying to explain anything about the origin of the world?
The problem is, if these primitive men invented all these tales to explain the world they saw around them in terms they could comprehend, and it's obvious in some cases this is precisely what happened, and honest Christians can admit this is what happened, when do you start to wonder if the main character of the whole thing came from the same source and served the same purpose?
