I struggle with my faith, I feel like doubting Thomas.

I read about older religions than Judaism and Christianity and even go back to the age of Dinosaurs and Fossils. The story of creation in the bible makes no sense. Like in the Gospels the Genealogy of Jesus can be trace to Adam. The reason why I still have faith is because of other reasons.

Were there actually people on earth when dinosaurs were here science says no.

People have a tendency to think that God popped up with the Israelites. Not so!

He has been around and he has been worshiped since he formed a man and placed him in the garden.

Even in Scripture Abraham gave homage and offering to the God of Melchizedek.
Who was Melchizedek he was King and high priest of Salem, who did not have a mother a father and didn't die. Melchizedek was a Canaanite, Salem was a Canaanite City. The god that Abraham made an offering to was the god of the Canaanites........ Ministers are not going to tell you that but it's scriptural. Elohim or El
Was the god Melchizedek served......... Because of Abraham's offerings and Truth God came to Abraham and chose him and his descendants, departed from the Canaanites because of their wickedness with to other gods and made child sacrifices and such...... Salem later he came Jerusalem named so by King David.

And truth be told Elohim can be traced back to the ancient Sumerians which founded the first civilizations. Enlil, El, Elil, Ellil, various buildings and pronunciation by different peoples tribes of that time such as the Arkadians or the Babylonians.
Christians are not going to admit that but when you do an in-depth study you will find it is an extremely strong possibility of being accurate even down to Gilmesh and the flood / Noah and the flood.

Plus Abraham was from an ancient city that was a part of ancient summer the city of Ur. And we must not forget we will more closely related then than now.

You say creation story don't make any sense do a in-depth study and comparison with scientific theories from The Big bang singularity /let there be light, to each event written in Genesis. And you have to do an in-depth study and find out all of the new information discoveries that has been released.
