Please, the only way you can ignore all this evidence is by closing your eyes and ears and making an effort to stay ignorant. The lazy argument to make is 'I don't know how to account for it, but with God anything is possible!' Yes but the easy answer is that the Bible is just one of many, many different religions, written by people with no clue as to what the Universe was actually like and hence explains why it is so completely wrong about everything (that people used to think it was right about). It is painfully obvious to anyone who's not emotionally attached to believing in the Bible, what the easy answer is. It is fiction. Absolute fiction. It was written by ignorant people. It was adopted by ignorant people. It continues to be practiced by ignorant people.
And that is the truth.
