I think its funny that when people get into the whole evolution vs creation discussion, that they completely forget that the bible has Proven to be inspired of a being higher than that of human wisdom due to fulfilled prophecy. Take the book of Daniel, it foretold different world powers that would conquer the known world through a 2000 year period. We have also the testimony of the Jewish historian Josephus, who states that the prophecies of Daniel were shown to Alexander the Great when he entered Jerusalem. This occurred in about 332 B.C.E., more than 150 years before the Maccabean period. Josephus says of the event: “When the book of Daniel was shown to him, in which he had declared that one of the Greeks would destroy the empire of the Persians, he believed himself to be the one indicated.” (Jewish Antiquities, XI, 337 [viii, 5]) History also recounts that Alexander bestowed great favors on the Jews, and this is believed to have been because of what Daniel said about him in prophecy. So many more prophecies are mentioned and fulfilled. So in my opinion its important to know how we got here, but that we are here and we have a book thats proved to be a reliable guide for hundreds of years.
