[QUOTE="lucaspa, post: 54634172, member: 4882"] They can't be literally error-free because they [B]contradict[/B] on major points. If you read them literally, one of them must be wrong. You can only learn what God is telling you when you stop trying to read them as literal history and how God created and instead read them as the theology they are. Genesis 1 is directed at showing that the Babylonian gods do not exist. Genesis 2-3 has multiple messages: a swipe at the Egyptian religion, allegorical explanation why each of us is cut off from God, and some touching, but naive explanations why farming is difficult, childbirth painful, why women will want sex even after the pain of childbirth, and the enmity between humans and snakes.
