Insisting that the world was created in 6 days shows an unwillingness to think for oneself.

“Insisting that the world was created in 6 days shows an unwillingness to think for oneself.”

Because of course a human would know more than the God who created it...

You got that right and what makes me wonder if they are really serious is that they do not go to the Bible and point out where it says literal days and they ignore where it says these are the generations in which the earth was made.

But what they do is quote some one who has wrote a book and lives in a pint house from its proceedings, or others who have became wealthy from preaching what they call the word of God.

And they will say that if it is not the way they believe that it would make God a liar.

I am a long way from knowing all about it but if I am wrong
about anything I would not even think about calling God a liar.

Please get back with me when you figure out how to create eternal life.

The real clincher to me is that the 6 days has to be literal, but the “this is my body” is only meant as a figure of speech.

If I were a betting man, I would wager that the words given to a roving band of illiterate tribesmen to be written later would be the ones most likely to not be completely literal. The ones spoken by the Good Lord Himself directly to His followers who were fixing to write it all down would be most likely to be literal.

But then again, I can’t make any money on reasonable reckoning.
