I second that.
The amount of actual Scientific Fact that is in The Bible is staggering.
Such as the dimensions of the Ark. Scientists proved that this boat was almost impossible to capsize, due to its size and shape. They didn't have the technology back then to actually work this out!
To the contrary, I'd argue that many cultures did have decent mathematical know-how, at least more than we give credit to them for in popular opinion. Nonetheless, that's not to say that it couldn't possibly have been directed, however indirectly, by God instructing Noah as to its construction, etc.
As to the topic at hand, I agree with a general concept of evolution, although I do recognize also that I cannot accept it as absolute fact in every regard in that for science to be science at all it must be testable, alterable too if evidence arises. Alchemy, eugenics, Lamarckian biology, miasma disease theory, all these were at one time science in one manner of speaking or another in their day, based upon what understanding much of human society had at the time, but these things have been altered or else have been abandoned out-right as time went on and scientific understanding improved. Likewise, although evolution seems to be the puzzle-piece we're looking for in regards to many questions about how nature functions, we cannot assume it as absolute fact as of yet, not in every respect, particularly not until we discover physical evidence of the "missing link" ancestors of various species, including our own supposed ancestor in common with the apes. I am, for what it's worth, religious as well- I find little serious contradiction in the idea that, if God designed the Universe, He could not have also implemented evolution in addition to the millions of other minute and inexplicably complex aspects of life as we know it (and what we've yet to discover of it).
