What other document stands its ground like Genesis 1?

I have yet to learn of anything that will contradict the Bible on grounds that will bear investigation, and this not for want of effort or sincerity, learning or science. I have looked into what men have written against the Bible in ancient and in modern times. I have not seen an account of creation that compares: A statement of facts that ancient men could profit by and understand, that survives mankind's changing thoughts, and that gathers fresh understanding of its truth from the advance of science.
That a man living as early as did Moses has written in one brief sentence, one admired by the finest critics for its simple sublimity, that at the same time surpasses Newton in exactness, is gratifying, especially coming from the remote history of a very tiny people in an obscure corner of the earth.
