If you're having trouble making it out of Genesis you might just want to quit while you're ahead. Or just skip around from book to book or chapter to chapter and see if there's anything that grabs your interest. The book of Job might be pretty good for at least the first few chapters, and the book of Revelations can be interesting if you're high on something.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
