Genesis doesn't need defending from the comments you made.

Why would I retract perfect logic?
It simply says that one must first clear up in their head if there's a God or not and then act accordingly. If there's a God proceed to read his message (the bible) and if not then don't!
Why would you start reading someone's message if you're not convinced of its authenticity?

Right, so someone is trying to tell a story and you’re hell bent on correcting them?
Stupid you for assuming you could!

But putting the church aside, and Orthodoxy aside, and every other religion aside, we’ve still got one “little” problem… an everlasting complex universe is *there* and you can’t explain how or why!
Looks like you're stuck and it's not the church's fault!
