...that Genesis should be taken as literal truth.
The litany of incompatibilities with scientific evidence makes such an assumption untenable.

For example, if God created plant life ex nihilo on the third "day", how did they manage to survive before the creation of the insects necessary to pollinate them?

etc. etc.
