You'd think that the biblical literalist would finally accept fact. It's not like the Bible isn't filled with parables and allegory.

Further, evolutionary theory doesn't challenge the Golden Rule, the Ten Commandments, nor any of the spiritual, moral teachings in the Bible, from incest to prohibition on homosexuality. I've argued here that indeed, "Darwinism" reinforces them -- adapt to God's spiritual "environment" via the way of Judeo-Christianity and survive to thrive, or fail to adapt and perish as countless pagan civilizations have perished over the millenia, and will in future ages as well.

Evolutionary theory doesn't challenge God; it challenges man's pride.

So we can’t use science to support Scripture, except when we want to use science to support Scripture?

When Jesus used parables, there was usually a comment like this proceeding it.....”Then he told them many things in parables” or “Jesus told them another parable:”, or “He told them still another parable: “ or using the word *like*.

All that is missing from the creation account. The sentences are declarative in nature, simply statements of fact.

Nope- but it DOES Challenge God’s own word! Either God lied to us in His owrd, or His owrd is true- which is it Finny?

Lol- Not sure how you can say that with a straight face- but whatever- Beleive You evolved from a ape if you like, and Beleive that God’s word doesn’t really mean what it means, and beleive that God lied to everyone if you like- As for us, We’ll take God at His word, and not rely on the deceitful rantings of Scientists who are hell bent on Assigning the miracles of creation to Nature despite hte FACT that they have NO support for such a Godless claim. It’s revealing that you prefer to beleive the lies of Macroevos over God.
