What an informed biblical literalist who was interested in Christian ...

Among other things, an informed biblical literalist who was interested in Christian apologestics would know a lot about biology, reference evolution, geology, reference the global flood theory, physics, reference the young earth theory, and biblical criticism and history, reference a lot of biblical textual criticism, including a lot of research about the Dead Sea Scrolls.

I have never come across a Christian who was well-informed in all of those areas, nor have I ever come across a non-Christian who was well-informed in all of those areas. So what should non-experts do? Well, as a non-expert, I usually choose to accept the opinions of very large consensuses of experts when they are available. Very large consensuses of experts reject creationism, the global flood theory, and the young earth theory.

Are biblical literalists suggesting that all scientists should presuppose that the book of Genesis is literally true, and try to force science to agree with the Bible? If not, what are they suggesting? There is no way that the majority of people will ever become well-versed in biology, and geology, and physics, and biblical textual criticism and history. How could a God intend for people to become well-versed in all of those things, many of whom live in remote jungle regions, do not know how to read and write, and have very little contact with the outside world?
