[Just because something contradicts your personal belief does not make it false.]
Actually it does.
[In other words, reality contradicts your dogma, so you decide, rather than changing your dogma, to invoke "magic" as the answer.]
There is nothing in reality that contradicts Genesis.

Except fossils, and carbon dating, and the half life of radioactive materials, and the geologic record, and ice in Greenland and Antarctica...
Except you know, paleontology, geology, cosmology, and physics.
You're kidding, right?
Exactly Hawker Hurricane !Genesis . There is some weird stuff there, but you could explain it away with apologetics if you are familiar with what it says.
Here is a list of problems science and history related to Genesis. And here is a list of absurdities in Genesis.
The Skeptics Annotated Bible is one of my favorite sites and for me essential when I come here to read and post. It's a king James Version of the Bible with all of the contradictions, absurdities and such highlighted. It's a great reference if you want to see what the Bible really says verses what fundamentalists say it does.
Excuse me, when was the last time you saw speaking snakes?, or that incests is the most accepted sex activity?, or that women pop up as if by magic?, or that they´re made of ribs?
yep, genesis is surely true. that's why there are other religions that exist and have existed. only your religion correct. all others are lies put out by satan.
Women, being made of ribs, are delicious. That much makes sense in a non-literal way.
There's nothing in reality that can contradict the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, either - in fact it's harder to disprove than the Bible.
Blah, blah, blah. This is the same tired screed all religions spout. I believe because I believe, fuck the evidence.
I don't understand how it's possible to believe, that if reality and the bible disagree then reailty is wrong. How is it possible, HOW!!!
Psalm 23The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23a
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not think!
He maketh me lie downright in great confusion:
He leadeth me to find silly conclusions.
He removeth my brain:
He leadeth me in the paths of apologetics for His name' sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the schooled in science,
I will fear no hard facts: For thou art with me;
Thy cock and thy bull, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table of errors in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my face with egg; My crap dribbleth over.
Surely goodness and mercy (welfare) shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will wallow in the House of the Lord forever.
...um.

"I believe I'll have another beer."
[But the liquor store is closed. Looks like you won't be having another beer after all.]
"Yes I will! The liquor store being closed contradicts my beliefs, so it must be false!"
I'm in sky blue.
Just because you plant your cranium firmly between your lower set of cheeks, it does not change reality. There is not a single iota of scientific evidence to back creationism. Just the bible, and the bible alone.
"There is nothing in reality that contradicts Genesis."
Except, you know, just about all of modern scientific knowledge.
You know, if you had a time machine, you could take these people back to the guy who first wrote down the book of Genesis, and HE'D smack his head in agony that you had missed the poetic symbolism he'd worked so hard on.
And guys like this would still claim that the author they'd just met didn't know it because he was primitive, but God was speaking through him.
Yes, if something contradicts your personal belief, chances are that that belief is false. You're absolutely right!
Nothing in reality contradicts Genesis? Well, apart from most of the real reality, nothing does.
You should rename yourself Magic, honey.
"There is nothing in reality that contradicts Genesis."
Then, seeing as everything was just 'poofed' into being by your 'God', go and find for me a reptile with human speech abilities.
Because as Genesis mentions a talking snake, then they must exist to this day (and you'd think there'd be written records of snakes that talked , even if they were hunted to extinction in the past, a la the Dodo), eh...?!
Then there's the two accounts of Genesis in the Bible, which contradict each other...!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
