    Genesis 1 can be seen to agree with 5 different modern scientific theories or facts.

    The Big Bang can be seen in the opening line "In the Beginning". The Big Bang theory states that the universe had a beginning. This is a fact as can be proven by the existence of uranium. Uranium emits electrons (radiation) slowly becoming inert. If the universe always existed there would be no uranium.

    A slowly forming Earth can be seen with the verse "Now the Earth was formless and void." It can also be seen by light appearing on "Day" 1 but the sun and moon only becoming visible on "day" 4. That is exactly what would have happened when looking through a slowly settling dust/moisture cloud.

    The concept of super continents like Pangea can be seen by the Bible stating "Let the waters be gathered in one place and let dry land appear." If the water was gathered in one huge ocean then the land was in one spot as well.

    The concept of abiogenesis can be seen by the fact that with the "creation" of both vegetation and animals the Bible does not say that God instantly created them but rather in each case says "Let the EARTH produce vegetation.... Let the EARTH bring forth living creatures..."

    Evolution can be seen in the order of appearance of the various life forms ... vegetation, sea life (including "great sea monsters" (dinosaurs??), birds, mammals, and man.

    Pretty amazing for a story that is more than 4000 years old, isn't it? If any book of that time period got even one modern scientific right it would be stunning. In the first chapter of the first book it can be seen as supporting 5 of them.

    Edit: Just a quick note... The Hebrew word used which is translated as "day" ALSO means "age".

    I am NOT saying I believe this.

    There are those on this site that claim as such though.

    Pi doesn't equal 3, bats are not birds, whales are not fishes. It's poor scientific evidence.
