Think of a Nickel. Creation is heads and evolution(or scientific observation) is tails. The truth lies along the edge. The difficulty with scientific observation is the incorrect conclusions arrived at using only the available information. Given 'all' information, a different conclusion would be found. What Darwin observed was correct. The conclusion should have been 'adaptation' and not evolution. Just as wolves bred for tameness become dogs, other species can change to better interact with environmental changes to the extent that their recessive genes allow.

Religious conclusions are also questionable since all information is not available due to the Catholic Church deciding which books to include and which not to include in the Bible. Also, pick up any three bibles and the wordings are different for many pasages. This is supposedly done to improve the ease of understanding but does just the opposite. Shakespear meant every word he used and none of his work is 'adjusted for clarity'.

As the calendar we use today only came into use in the time of Cesar, and owing to the probability that Adam and his decendents lived nearer to the equator, their means of counting years is questionable. It would be easier to count moon cycles {29.53 days (29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes) on average} as that region of the earth has no seasons. If this is true, then Adam lived to be 75.19 of our years, Henoch only 29.51 and Mathusala a whopping 78.344 years.

Another oddity with numbers relates to 3 Kings Chapter 7 Verse 23 describing a 'molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim'(diameter) and 'a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about' (circumference). This indicates that pi=3 or 30/10. Verse 26 tells us 'the layer was a handbreadth thick: and the brim thereof was like the brim of a cup.' To arrive at a correct value for pi then the diameter of 10 is from outside edge to outside edge and the circumference was measured around the inside edge. Two different circles. This is the only way to describe pi with any accuracy as it is a continuous fraction and therefore one of the other dimensions used must also be a continuous value ie. the one not given.

And finally, the identity of God. Just as the law is described as both the letter of the law and the spirit of the law so is the word of God and the spirit of God. God is the plan for our existance, not the executer of the plan.
