[ I have a question about this that has always bugged me. For the sake of arguement, assume that the whole Eden/ Noah/ Moses/etc. storyline is Absolute Fact. ]

Ah! what if it was mostly metaphor.. True as far as its understood... but telling a huge story simply as metaphor.. Which is was.. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil IS a metaphor.. not an actual TREE.. as are many other things in the telling of that story.. basically biblical sound bites.. Its all in my book..LoL..

Or almost entirely metaphor. Or entirely metaphor. Too many Christians hereabouts base their faith, and their views of the faith of other Christians, on the belief that what is obviously metaphor was, in fact, a literal account.
