DNA is not in the bible, so it must be offensive...How are parents going to explain that to their kids?

Now you point it out, it is gobsmackingly extreme even for Fundies. Even they are too smart to discredit themselves so obviously.

Because it is a book of fiction, urban legend, superstition, bias, and a lot of the agenda of everyone that wrote, rewrote, translated, etc. etc. over the centuries. Facts, there aren't any.
