>Well, I'm certainly open to new research and so forth but as far as I know Jim every single time that some geographic or historical incident has been mentioned in the Bible it's been proven out by research.

Obviously my lack of education again, so where can I find the research proving the biblical version of creation, seems we could save quite a lot of money by stopping funding of research into all sorts of things if that has already been proved.

Research can prove anything to those with a mind to believe the research. Back in the 70's a lot of research proved that aliens had visited Earth in historical times. To those that wanted to believe, the evidence that the pyramids were built by aliens was conclusive, to the rest of us it was obviously twisting a few known facts with a few coincidences to build an unsustainable argument. To those who do not believe in your religion, the research & the proofs will seem the same.
