a) biological evolution (Darwin's theory)
b) the scientifically accepted geological age of the earth (about 4500 million years)
c) the scientifically accepted cosmological age of the universe (about 10-20 thousand million years or so, I think. Not as precise yet)
d) observed fact that there is no geological evidence of a Biblical Flood
If you disagree with evolution, is there any reason other than a literal interpretation of the Bible? (I'm guessing that the answer would be no for the other ones.)
There are many instances in which we are forced to accept that things in the Bible were meant to be figurative, like "the sight [of a tall tree] thereof to the end of all the earth" Daniel 4:11, implying that the earth is flat. Or the fact that many Biblical passages imply that the sun moves around the earth (first Chronicles 16:30, Psalms 93:1, Psalms 96:10, and Psalms 104:5)
