Those who criticize the book of Genesis often attack the first 11 chapters of this book as being non-historical. Skeptics want to treat these chapters as mythological or allegorical they can't accept them as historical narratives. No historical creation, Adam and Eve, no historical temptation and fall of man, and no historical Noah's ark or global flood.

Hugh Ross speaks as a Christian and a scientist reconciles the newest scientific evidence with Genesis 1-11. He says "Genesis 1 succinctly and eloquently narrates the beginning of “the heavens and the earth.” It explains what came into existence, how it came, and what order. It specifies what scientists have recently verified as Earth’s initial conditions….This flawless summary of an enormous body of natural-historical information comes to us in just a few dozen sentences. Moses, the probable author, penned this account more than thirty-four centuries ago. Somehow he managed to get it right – the right initial conditions, the right events accurately described and correctly sequenced, and the right final conditions-to align with the still accumulating evidence from multiple scientific disciplines equipped with space-age technological tools."
