Your parochial outlook of the world is indeed stupefying. Science is discovering but the tip of the iceberg of what we are, the world we live in, how it all comes together... if you don't quite understand how it all interacts, the problem doesn't lie with religion, it lies with you.
If you have time to read beyond your pet subject of polygamy, perhaps you would do well to pick up a different genre. An introductory chapter of Gerald Schroeder's 'The Science of God' will debunk your misguided impressions about the six days of Genesis (Big Bang Theory, anyone?), humanity's evolution, the great flood of Israel and a whole lot more. Its heavy stuff but a total eye/mind opener. Science has only recently developed the technology to corroborate what the Bible has said 2000 years ago. They are complementary, not opposing. You have alot of catching up to bring yourself up to speed.
To other readers of this thread and especially to threadstarter ferragamo, my most humble apologies for veering so off topic. I felt the compulsion to address his post and this will be my last on this debate.
