NO just some of what you were taught.

If you have a Ph.D in biophysics it doesnt mean that the theories you have learned are more true than religious teachings concerning creation as the theory of the big bang and the theory of the physical world coming from the Nothing .. Sometimes scientists are more fanatic than any religious cleric they dont evolve and dont change established data which are mostly wrong like the theory of Einstein which is based on a 3 dimensions universe and the theory of Darwin which is invented by an ape mind in a world that has millions of different species..

If you proclaim the Theory of Evolution then the answer would be yes. The wisdom of men is foolishness to God. The Bible is to be taken literally unless the context makes it obvious that it shouldn't -such a saying that someting was "like" something else or "as" something else or the use of hyperbole, allegory and parables. Even then the lesson being taught within those particular situations is to be taken literally. The fact that the Bible is to be taken literally is emphasized throughout Scripture by the means of repetition and confirmation of the same thing. For example, the 1st Chapter of Genesis teaches that the universe and all within it was created in 6/24 hour days, as any intelligent reader can tell. This is reemphasized every time God commands the Jews to keep the Sabbath day holy. Over and over again God reminds Israel that the Sabbath was to be kept holy and no work was to be done because"in 6 days God created the heavens and the Earth, and on the 7th day He rested". The Bible couldn't possibly be any more clear on this subject.

No. It does not 'discredit' your PhD in Biophysics. With your education it should be quite clear to you that the study of science can either be supportive of faith or hostile to faith. As far as the 'literal' aspects of Genesis are concerned, you are the one with the PhD. You should be an expert in physical and chemical explanations of the living processes. However, can your degree in Biophysics, can your studies, can science answer all of your questions about life? About the beginnings of the universe? Have faith. God bless.

Nope,
But it does mean that you probably have to do a bit of mental gymnastics when dealing with some specific issues you might come across.
As an engineer, some of the passages in Genesis simply don't make sense. I can't believe that the Earth existed before the stars and the Sun. I can't believe that plants existed before the moon and the Sun.
In any event, if your faith requires of you to believe this book literally, go ahead. I can't see how, but it's your life and your faith.

I think your asking people without a PhD in Biophysics for affirmation discredits your education. If you are educated and have a certain body of knowledge, don't ask idiots validate you.

Why would it? Only fools reject the Bible. With a PhD in Biophysics you don't sound like a fool to me.

not really. you can know a lot about something and not consider it the truth. perhaps you know a lot about the science of biophysics and how it works even though you do not "believe" in it.

Depends....Does your Phd. discredit Genesis? If it does then Choose God's Word over any man made thing you learned to get your PHd.

Hmm. Index of suspicion is VERY high regarding your "question".
But, suspending disbelief for a moment, I would have to say "no" it doesn't. Nothing in science rules out faith. Nothing in faith rules out science.

Um, yup!
Sorry you wasted all that time studying =) Could have just flipped through Genesis...don't worry I don't mind if you skip all the begats.
Lol just kidding.
