Genesis, or for that matter the rest of the Jewish books, cannot be reconciled with science no matter how hard you try. Evolution is a fact. Archaeology, paleontology, and historical records from all gentile civilizations show the history of this planet extends many many millenniums beyond 6000 years .
Israeli archaeology has already exposed more than half of the Torah's history as little more than propaganda from Judea's kings.
And I have already explained to your deafening ears about the incorporated mythology such as Yahweh's battle with Rahab (Job 26) coming from cannanite myths, the Tower of Babel coming from Enkermar of babylonian myths, Samson coming from Greeks, and the other jewish stories which have their origins with the cannanites, sumerians, egyptians, babylonians, greeks, hittites, zorastrians, and even muslims (per the various midrash I showed you)
So what is left? Why still stick with Judaism?
Is it the culture and community you do not wish to leave, which XGH says is his reason for staying a frum pretender?
As I've said before, I find it most ironic when a fanatical Muslim like yourself spouts on and on about the supposedly derivative nature of Judaism - as if Islam isn't wholly derived from the likes of Judaism and Christianity. I suspect it is your strange perception of inferiority which drives you to rail against it, even in the face of a post which makes it a total non sequitur.
"You speak of dogmas, dogmas of faith! In answer thereto, I would briefly say that Judaism enjoins six hundred and thirteen duties but knows no dogmas." - R' Samson Raphael Hirsch, Fifteenth Letter

WWW Links
The Frum Skeptics Group A forum for skeptics of all flavors Jewish to get together and gripe about whatever. Must be a Yahoo member to enter. (Don't worry, it's free.)
Talk Reason "This website presents a collection of articles which aim to defend genuine science from numerous attempts by the new crop of creationists to replace it with theistic pseudo-science under various disguises and names." Also, take a special look here and here
Daat Emet "DE has been operating since 1998 as a public organization, whose main goal is the study of classical Jewish culture and the dissemination of its scientific, humanistic interpretation."
Concordance of the Bible Find any word used in the Bible in Hebrew or Greek (includes Christian texts) and their meaning in every passage.
Internet Sacred Text Archive It's an archive of all the world's notable religious, cultural, and philosophical works. I suggest taking a look at the Judaism section; it's even got the Bible!

There once was a man from Peru
Whose limericks stopped at line two.
There was an old man
from Peru, Whose lim'ricks all
looked like haiku. He
said with a laugh, "I
cut them in half, The pay is
much better for two."
I can't believe you are still singing this tune:
"Onwards to a rational observant Judaism"
How the fuck do you do that?
Judaism is not rational.
