Astronomy supports Creationism

Nope. GOD created Adam with the ability to talk and gave him the job of naming the animals. Genesis 2:19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.

Nope ? What you quoted seems to indicate that the language of man created words and these words were subsequently used in writing. The curiosity of God is shown here allowing the words to be the choice of man instead of man being given inspired words….otherwise God would not have been curious…..now the naming of Abraham is an example of God giving a name….

Well, GOD gave Adam the ability to talk. I agree that Adam was allowed to name the animals by GOD, but he had to be able to communicate.
 
it must be remembered that Adam and Eve were late creations in the area that they lived in. For example there had been people in Jericho for probably 3,000 years…..

You may wish to consider the following with regard to Jericho: https://creation.com/the-story-of-jericho Adam and Eve were the very first couple, so biblically there were no humans before them. And again the FLOOD (about some 1600 years after the FALL of Adam & Eve) would have made Noah's three son's the channels through which all the various people groups originated.

Human being wrote creation myths. You wrongly took one literally.

All religious myths are myths ------ I fully agree. The Bible accounts, however, are contemporary to the people who originally heard them, read them, and lived them. And as archaeology proceeds, it becomes apparent that what the Bible presents are factual with no real reason to fabricate lies.

The Bible accounts, however, are not contemporary to the people who originally read them. And as archaeology proceeds, it becomes apparent that what the Bible presents as factual history IS NOT supported by the physical evidence.

There is ZERO evidence for the Exodus, The odds and ends that archaeologists dig up, tell us that the people living in Judaea were not monotheistic until some years after the Babylonian Exile period. There is no physical evidence for the existence of David and Solomon. The Jesus named in the Babylonian Talmud lived 100 years before the Jesus worshipped by Christians today. There is no physical evidence for the Gospels before the late 2nd Century.

And myths are just symbolic stories, not historical accounts of anything that really happened. They tell us about human nature, not about the existence of any actual gods. Archeology does not support biblical myths at all.

He didn't give him a generous helping of brain. He woke up on the first day and never wondered where he was, where he came from or how he got there. Same thing with Eve, She suddenly appears one morning, and he just goes on gardening, with never a word about where she came from, or how she got those lumps on her chest!
Incurious would be the kindest description.

The Bible doesn't say. It does say that Adam and the LORD walked in the cool of the day. It says that Adam need a mate and the LORD made one suitable from Adam's side. And the serpent/Lucifer/Satan had a persuasive discussion with Eve. and apparently Adam listened and made a bad choice. Choice takes some thinking ability... And Adam threw Eve under the bus and blamed GOD. Not too bright ----- but man has been doing such ever since...

You need to do some further investigation. There appears to be several scenarios as to why this may seem to be. And part of it apparently involves the actual date of the Exodus and which pharaoh. There are individuals who are so intent to disprove the rights of the Hebrews/Israel/Jews --- that they are not intent on finding the facts ---- merely excuses....

Just because you grew up with it. Don't confuse familiarity with being better. Most people think the particular cultural mythologies they happened to grow up with are "better than all the rest". It's a little like taste in music or food.

I grew up with biological evolution in public school, doesn't mean that being familiar with it that I agreed with it. The Bible is much more honest and precise. "In the beginning GOD..."

Science is true whether you agree with it or not.

The Bible has absolutely nothing about the science of biology in it. It has no explanation at all of how living things came to be. It has no explanations of the various forms of reproduction of living things.
