Abstract
Ever since Christians first attempted to harmonize Scripture with the concept of millions of years, they have been straying further and further from a literal meaning of Genesis until they have abandoned it altogether. Christianity fails a fundamental test of naturalistic science. Miracles, such as Christ's Virgin Birth and Resurrection, do not mesh with modern scientific beliefs, which require truth to be "testable and repeatable." This conflict does not deter Christians, however, who trust their eternal destiny to these historical facts that are revealed in Scripture, even if they aren't repeated today. Yet many of those same Christians reject the straightforward, historical reading of the Genesis creation account simply because they believe it cannot be verified by science.
