What is any Biblical statement from God's standpoint?
Not only does this claim open you up to some criticism for some special knowledge of god that is better than the average joe can understand according to your peculiar interpretation, it also - heaven forbid! - can lead to declaring some kind of truce with that 'evil' physical science geology.
If you are going to actually think about what you are told concerning Christianity, you really should read Spinoza. It could change your whole perspective into something more positive, even if less anthropomorphic.

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.
Salman Rushdie
This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. - the character Rorschach in Watchmen
