Someone should pull out a Biology textbook and compare it to the first couple pages of Genesis.
You would be surprised to see that they do not condradict eachother at all on the subject of formation of Earth and the order in which animals came first and how the gases seperated and how Earth was just a ball of fire before God touched it.
Really, I am serious, try it. I did it last night and was surprised.

Technically, everything he said was true... depending on how you interpret what he said.
If I were to pull out a Biology textbook, and compare it to the first couple pages of Genesis, I would indeed be suprised if I saw that they did not contradict each other at all on the subjects he mentioned (well, at least, any of them which actually are covered in a biology textbook...).
Furthermore, if he believes that his paragraph on the compatibility of biology textbooks with genesis is representative of reality, I'll bet that he really was suprised when he tested his hypothesis.
Jesse- That's a good point, but Anthony didn't say anything about the first couple pages of the bio textbook, just the first couple pages of Genesis. Hmmm. I guess that means the creation account in Genesis 1 doesn't contradict science, but the account in Genesis 2 does.
And actually, the first couple pages of Genesis contradict this chucklehead's statements -about- Genesis.
Gensis 1:2 - And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
I don't see nothin' about a ball of fire ... In fact, a ball of fire would not have darkness, and it sorta specifically says something there about water. Last time I checked, the absence of water was one of the preconditions for the existence of fire ..........
Except for how the sky is a bowl which is blue because water is behind it (a description which persists after the Flood, putting that hyperbaric chamber nonsense to rest), and plants sprouted before the sun, and there was day and night before solar bodies, and Gen. 1 and 2 have the order in which Adam is created and the plants grow switched around, and birds came before the "creeping things of the Earth"
Pistachio stagefright was inherent in the beginning, but the electric feline ashtray exhibited a paucity of Freemasonry, so the Picts determined that the Patagonian colosseums were bereft of any vulpine tendencies since last Michaelmas.
There...
That made just as much sense!
And what was this book called? Biology in Cosmology?
BIOLOGY DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!
EVOLUTION DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!
COSMOLOGY DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!
THOU DOST FAIL!
One more thing: what does, Mr. Anthony, in your opinion, happen to magma when it reaches the surface of the planet?
thats odd, my books say first the sun, then planets, then water and life and millions of years later plants and animals.
Thats hardly a 7 day creation with light days before the sun was made.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
