The parallel to the Magna Carta doesn’t work. “Were you there?” is a perfect question. The only one present would have been the creator Himself, and He has left a record. One believes the record or one doesn’t.
In THAT record, the story says that the creation of heaven and earth was part of creation week.
That story could only be told by one Person. (note the capital “P”.)
Actually, the Bible is allegorical. And the record establishes conclusively that the earth is very old.
“That story could only be told by one Person. (note the capital “P”.)”
Regarding the capital “P”, I have occasionally wondered how German writers express the same reverence when using nouns that refer to God, since all nouns are capitalized in German. Can you shed some light on that?
