You've probably gathered that I don't believe in God. Plus although the bible story has very good moral teachings thats all it is, a story, made up by people to control other people and an attempt at explaining things mankind cannot understand. Genesis claims that God made two people in the garden of eden but evidence shows that mankind evolved in Africa and traversed throughout the world during an ice age.
So if you believe in A God you would have to alter your beliefs.
I refer you to my previous statement regarding absolute pronouncements. Just as no one religion can lay claim to the absolute truth, science (or at least your knowledge of science) can't either. Science is ultimately based on faith.

For example: one of the most widely held views of the sub-sub-sub-atomic particles is String Theory. The Strings fit in with a number of the calculations but the theory can never be confirmed or denied because the Strings are too small to test (If one atom was magnified to the size of the solar system, one string would be the size of a tree on Earth). Thus the physicists have faith in String Theory.

In any case, I have met many advanced physicists who beleive in religion, and who claim that their faith is based on their work.

In conclusion, don't make claims that the bible is just a story as that is merely your own, rather demeaning, opinion
