A literal reading of Genesis has absolutely nothing to do with the existence of a creator. The only thing evolution threatens is your pride.

For thousands of years Christians and Jews took the rising and setting of the sun literally. In this era that seems comical. No one would take it literally.

What you are having trouble with is distinguishing between history and parable.

Really, how literally do you want to go into what Genesis actually says? My pride????

I think some followed the moon as well.
