In response to last post, (sorry, the reply with quote isn't working):

I am not discussing theology. I am discussing science. I think the conversation started with creationism pseudoscience and its relationship to the science of the big bang model of the universe's beginning.

My point was that, the arguement that god cannot be proven nor disproven is not a barrier to scientific examination of the Bible. The creation story in the Bible is the equivilent of other cultures' creation stories. This can be evaluated through social, anthropolgical, and biological sciences.

Astronomical, geological, paleontological, and, biological sciences provide little if any evidence supporting Biblical versions of events. Some historical events described are supported by archeology.

There is a lot of 'bad astronomy' in the Bible. If one wants to claim belief in the Bible and belief in the scientific process for evaluating the world around us, I think it is worthwhile to consider other blindspots that might be occurring.
