If you conclude as I do, that they are never designed for scientific purposes, then you should conclude that the details of scientific processes may not be exact or even correct, as it is perfectly possible to simply use an analogy to teach a spiritual point.

So what is the spiritual purpose, or purposes of Genesis creation account?
I agree that the creation account is not intended to be primarily of scientific value.
