Dear Jeff,
I have often said that it is not self-evident to me that the question of
origins is an obvious scientific question. If not, then the Bible may
provide an answer to it. However, the answer is not a scientific answer and
so is not "a working replacement" to evolutionary theory.

Biblical answers are not scientific. The creation act of God cannot be
described by human thoughts or inventions.

I believe the questions answered by Scripture are orders of magnitude more
important than any purely scientific questions that man has answered.
Take care,
