“Well one has evidence on its side, and the other has your interpretation of what an allegorical and spiritual creation story means in the physical world.”
There is more proof that Jesus existed than Socrates.

Please show me where you think I denied that Jesus is Lord.
Jesus said “I will speak to you in parable”. The creation story in Genesis is a parable about the place of God and man in the world, and man's spiritual loss of innocence when we gained knowledge of good and evil. And I don't think we gained this knowledge by eating a fruit off a magical tree; that part is parable.

Far greater proof. Rigorous skeptics choosing to discard the Bible must also throw out the entirety of ancient history with its relatively infinitesimally smaller substantiation.

Remember what I was saying about heresies? Proof only matters to heretics.
