...you either believe that God created the word in six twenty four hour days or you believe God is a liar...

Or, you could just study up on the concepts of allegory and metaphor.

A literal reading of the bible does not allow for allegory or metaphor. That's the whole point.

Pointing to allegory and metaphor in places where it is obviously intended in the Bible is not a valid reason for rejecting those parts of scripture that are clearly intended literally.

"Allegory and metaphor" is a common and overused excuse to deny the truth of scripture while still pretending to have respect for God's Word.

It's a phoney argument.
