[the 3rd point]
There are many scientists who are Christian, and who believe Genesis to be factually true.
On the TV, radio, magazines and papers we are regularly reminded (sometimes in very subtle ways) that science disproves Christianity, and that scientists are atheists.
This is not true!
Many of the greatest scientists throughout history have been Christians.
There is an organisation, the Creation Research Society, whose members have to be scientists and who believe among other things, that the Bible is
"historically and scientifically true in the original autographs.... the account of origins in Genesis is a factual presentation of simple historical truths."
When I checked in January (2003) there were 650 scientist members, each of whom would stand up for these things, as being acceptable to them as scientists.
Here is a quote from William Dembski, who is an associate research professor (amongst other things):
"Mainstream scientists must leave strict Darwinism behind if they are to maintain their professional integrity. Strict Darwinism asserts that Darwin's mechanism of random variation and natural selection is able to account for all the complexity and diversity we see in living forms. The evidence simple does not support this claim, and there is good evidence to suggest that this mechanism cannot do all that strict Darwinists attribute to it (evidence now acknowledged even by biologists who oppose intelligent design)."
