"perfect genes."

Yeah, I'm not going to the Bible to learn about biology- a book that says that if you put a pregnant animal in front of a fence, the animal's baby will come out striped. It's a book of parables and fables primarily designed to either fill in explanatory gaps with (mostly incorrect) answers or control a person's behavior via magic carrot and stick philosophy. Stop taking it literally and maybe you won't have to treat reality as the enemy of your faith.

The only thing that the Bible is useful for in a literal sense is neither science nor a historical account of events, but an analysis of the culture of the times+places that its various texts were written in.

I don't treat reality as the enemy of my faith. Then again, as I just admitted, I care mostly about the four gospels and don't try to prove the old testament to be historically accurate. However, I feel that this response is very rude and dismissive and the sort of thing that serves as more of an example of why people refuse to give up their beliefs instead of being 'converted' away from them.
