The Old Testament was an epic poem passed on by an Oral Tradition for at least 3,000 years, unril it was finally written down, in close to its present form, in Hebrew, during the Babylonian captivity, circa 600 BCE...

What's even more interesting, is that Babylon, which was the home of the Sumerians, also had a Creation Myth, called the "Enuma Elish", which had been written down 2,000 years earlier, and the Hebrew version of Creation is nearly a word-for-word translation in sumarized form, of the older Sumerian Myth...

Fossil evidence, which systematically and scientifically analizes & documents the development of life on earth, in a logical manner, is not meant to be poetic...

Science, answers the How; religion, the Why...

• How can we reconcile the existence of Biblical Adam and the prehistoric man based on the fossilized evidence.?
• What evidence is there for the existence of cats?
• What evidence in modern day is there for the existence of cats?
• If humans became extinct would there be any evidence of their existence 100,000 years from now?
• Is there more evidence for the existence of ghosts, bigfoot, fairies, lochness monster or chupacabras?
• Why would some say that Alternative Medicine is not "evidence" based?
• Where's a good source for info on my fossilized mastodon tooth?
• Everyone: How do you reconcile...?
• Did prehistoric man eat raw meat (before fire)?
• Have you experienced a loss that's hard to reconcile yourself to?
