When a person states that there is no consistent evidence of a "literal" reading of Genesis 1-11, including no evidence of a deluge-one may want to consider the framework the statement is wrapped in. This framework consists of a scientific construct of a universe that has been dated by methods based upon the assumption that the stars are much older than the earth. Giving this view more "weight" than the Biblical statement that the earth came first, grants the present theories of science an impregnable stature that they have not earned. Rhonda Joseph
