Correct. That should have been your opening post.But science can't touch the overall context of the bible and the bible can't touch the overall context of science.
And it would have been a very short thread.

There's a few assertions that have been glossed over that must be addressed before such a discussion can go anywhere.
Science, as a discipline, has nothing to say about God, Eden, or Adam and Eve. Nothing at all.
As far as the scientific community is concerned, there is no evidence that can be scientifically examined, and therefore it is entirely outside the scope of scientific analysis.
Let's first address that, before going any further.

Science analyse on what subject matter and life on our solar system , but science does not know how it started and speculate on possibility on how it happen , based on some analysed observations and then extrapolate .
No. Science deals with the what and the how. Never the why. That's for philosophers....science would want to understand why is there a universes.

You can say that all you want; it is false.it would indeed want to know the why.

You will not find a single self-respecting scientist who thinks science has to do with why things are.
I think you do not know what a scientist does.A self-respecting scientist would indeed what to know the why of an objects history. Now the scientist can study the what and how.
Why genesis specifically and not the creation mythology of every other religion?
I think you do not know what a scientist does.
What kind of analysis do you have in mind?Science should stay entirely outside the scope of scientific analysis God.
The bible assumes the existence of God throughout.The bible doesn't set out to prove their is a God, so science shouldn't either.
Thou shalt not kill?Cain is culpable, and for someone to be culpable of something, we have to assume some principle that they have violated.
Yeah, that fits the mythology.There seems to be in existence from the beginning of creation this universal moral law, and that is: Yahweh-endowed sanctity of human life. The fact that Yahweh has created humans in his own image, but Yahweh-endowed sanctity of human life is an assumption, and it’s the violation of the assumption which makes Cain culpable.
Right.The bible never sets out to prove there is a God. It assumes that God exists and never questions that assumption.
No. Science shows that those assumptions are wrong, like you say.I heard that science proved Genesis is wrong, but can science ignore the assumptions within Genesis?
