I am only responding to your claim "There are entire fields of science that have put paid to any possible idea that Genesis happened." .

But when we get to the "practicalities", it has some severe limitations - such as the fact that no organism has ever been created from inorganic material, despite some serious efforts.Well, I don't know.
While we are on the subject (and to let you off the hook), on what basis do you believe/know that living material (i.e "simple"
organisms) developed from non-living material?
But it seems to be the only option available.
Somehow, through a series of events, carbon must have bonded with hydrogen and oxygen, forming carbohydrates (stuff that happens routinely, even today), which then bonded to form proteins and amino-acids and those bonded to form the first self-replicating chains of amino-acids, and thus... life.
It's this last step that science hasn't managed to replicate yet...
Even if they do manage to create self-replicating amino-acids chains... what will prevent anyone from saying "yeah, it's possible to do it like that, but who's to say it really happened like that?"

The claim that genesis is wrong?
Actual measured age of the universe. ~14 billion years.
actual measured age of the planet Earth. ~4 billion years.
genesis claim of the age of planet Earth (and the rest of the Universe) ~6000 years.
Is that enough, or do you want some more?
