In his "mind" scientists are scared to present this "theory" because of a worldwide "conspiracy" that will pull their funding if they stop doing science and replace theory and experimentation with hand scrawled "Dunno GodDidIt" notes.
People tend to get so wrapped up in the "Garden of Eden" story that they overlook the fact that the Bible says where it was and even when it existed. I can understand casual Bible readers missing it but even preachers and priests overlook it. So if the God character actually made a man from common field dirt and then a woman from the man's rib it was on a planet in a galaxy far, far, far away. It didn't happen on this one.
There are books that tell us all about the life of James Bond - and Harry Potter - And Sherlock Holmes TOO.
The bible is NOT a historical refererence - it is a book of religious MYTH and we KNOW that some things in the bible are simply NOT TRUE - example - there was NO worldwide flood as described in the bible.
And sorry - but the majority of xtian sects - representing over 75% of the xtians in the world - have already accepted evolution. Unlike the small sects made up of stupid people, the larger sects cannot risk another round of being wrong - like that of the earth being the rigid center of the Universe - which it is also not.
Yes - you are right - what is said in the bible - "DIDN'T HAPPEN"
