Helix, you are right on a couple of counts here.
1. Although the Bible is not a science text book, the science facts it mentions, which we have the ability to confirm, have been confirmed. It has not been wrong yet.
2. The Deluge really did happen and the evidence is very much there. It is not in the fossils -- the evidence lies beneath the Cambrian strata, in miles of carbon-rich strata all over the earth.
