the Bible creation story (it's actually 2 stories combined if you read carefully) actually borrows from other, older creation stories, and is meant to be taken allegorically. it's really a parable describing mankind's fall from "grace". I've also heard arguments that the Adam/Eve story is really not about a couple, but more about man finding the balance between his yin/yang masculine/feminine energy, etc.

anyways to stay on topic...i agree it's pretty stupid for anyone to think in this day and age that the earth is 6000 years old or evolution isn't real. i mean...honestly speaking...if you graduated from HS you should know better. remember when mainstream christianity swore that the earth was the center of the universe??? LOL
