Genesis 1:1 contradicts science.

[Drich]

why is this a dumb idea? Because you decided to trivialize it? Please explain.

In the beginning God created the heavens, the Hebrew word for heavens is:
שָׁמַיִם shamayim. It means abode of the stars. This came first. The scientific consensus you mentioned agrees. Then the passage mentions 'the earth.' This came after the creation of the heavens, which again your source material confirms.. There is no time frame mentioned between the creation of heaven and earth. The only part of creation that is mentioned that ties itself to a time frame is the creation of light. Light was created on the first day. Don't confuse this with what happened 'in the beginning.'

How convenient that interpretations of the text can change when the sciences actually discover how the world works. Does it ever work the other way around, where the interpretation enlightens our scientific knowledge? I think not. But even if you are smart enough to read Genesis as myth most of your brothers and sisters in heaven and on earth do/did not.

We are only responsible for what we are given to understand. If we have an understanding of how the world works outside the bible then we are to reconcile the what we under with scripture. Scripture being the unchanging foundation. If we do not have this understanding then we do not know how to 'read it accurately.' As with revelation, a full understanding is not required, just responsibility for what we understand.
