The tricky bit is that if god made the world in six days, six years or whatever, god did so leaving a trail of irrefutable evidence pointing back 4 or 5 billion years. And the universe a bit longer (according to the bible the universe was made at about the same time if I remember correctly).
regarding the message .... it all depends on your interpretation. I personally don't particularly like attacking the bible for its literal inaccuracies, it never was meant to be taken literally (or at least large sections)
For example I don't really have a clue what the garden of Eden is. It sounds like a nice place to be..... I'm willing to take a risk and go there. How? Why were Adam and Eve thrown out...... they disobeyed God and and learnt of the nature of good and evil? So I am going to try and retrace their steps and unlearn what is good and evil; see where it leads me?
And I say this as a devout agnostic. no smileys .... perfectly seriously
all the best
