What kind of ignorant SOB are you anyway? Even most Christians don't believe that God literally created the earth in 6000 years. Haven't you ever heard of a metaphore? The Bible is full of them by the way. And who ever said that science and god can't coexist anyway. It's just your feeble mental power that finds the Bible at odds with science. Religion is about spirituality and a higher purpose to life. If you had any real spirituality, you would see that the very fact that the universe works without any help from "God" is a miracle in itself.
You give up the free will god gave you when you hide yourself from the truth. Did the bible predict the rotation of the planets or the effects of gravity? Does the bible explain Calculus or statistics? Do you really think that with all the different species that exist today, Noah could have fit two of each one in his tiny boat(you may actually have to crack a book other than the Bible to figure out how many species there actually are today), or even gone to all seven continents and rounded them all up? If you do then you are a bigger fool than I thought and if not then you have to accept evolution(There isn't any passage in the Bible about god restocking the earth after the flood). The Bible is so full of inconsistancies that it isn't surprising that the fun"duhh"mentalist has to completely reject reality in order to have faith in God.
Science works. If it didn't, we couldn't have this little "discussion". Science is about creating models that accurately describe the world around us. Your religion seems to be about denying the world around you in order to have all the answers. well I've got news for you buddy, we're never going to have all the answers in this life. We can only deceive ourselves into thinking we have all the answers and show our own ignorance in the process,as you have aptly done. There is nothing more foolish than foolish people who thinks they are wise and nothing more destructive to society than ignorance in the cloak of religion.
One last thing about the Bible. You know what a parable is right? Did you ever stop to think that the whole book may just be a bunch of parables and not the literal truth(obvious to free thinkers), or even (heaven forbid) a story book created to keep the masses in check(no, it couldn't be that, could it?) ?
