The problem you have is the story of genesis fails even for the average 12 year old.

When was the last 950 year old person you saw walking around?
Do you really think you could get all the animals in the world on a small boat?

So literal creation via genesis is falsified as an idea even to a 12 year old or are you going to expand your definition on creation out wider to some god making some beginning?

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
