Recentely I was talking to someone about Creation and heard that apparantely when Moses lists the 7 steps of creation of the world he puts the events in correct order with regard to scientific knowledge today. This is supposably supported by scietists and thereby presents evidence that Moses must have learned about it from God, because the probability of guessing randomly is so low.
Here is an exsert from one of the websites:
"From there, the following takes place:
-The creation of the earth itself
-The separation of the dry land from the seas
-The creation of plants in a particular order - grasses, shrubs and trees
-The placing of the heavenly bodies in relationship to the earth
-The creation of animal life in a particular order - fish, birds, land animals
-The creation of man
As scientists study the creation of the universe and life on earth, they
have found that it happened in exactly that order."
Twelve Events Science Has Confirmed Prove the Biblical Creation Account
The first stage, for example, when God separates the dark from the light is parralled with decoupling.
This website is even more thorough in explaining it.
Does God Exist? - Home Page
I am wondering whether this argument holds water? I myself think that when Moses (or whoever) wrote about creation of the world he intuitevely listed events from the most basic to the most complex. The only reason that he got those events somewhat close was because our world also tends to evolve from basic to complex.
I don't know much about science (other than a few things I read about BB and Evolution) so I don't know how much scientific support this argument really has. So to all of you guys who know more about science than me (which should be great majority of you) please contribute your thoughts. Thanks.

The Firefox and Chrome browsers both have built in spell checkers.
If you use Internet Explorer, then Google has a spell checker included with it's browser toolbar that works with it, see Google Toolbar.
