One only need to look through the subjects and various threads to note that on many issues the Bible does not seek to be precise. A brief tour of "General Theology" will prove that very point. As to Genesis the salient point is that "In the beginning God created..." beyond that the text is quite open to interpretation. This can be applied to the meaning of "day", Gen. 1:1-2, God spoke as the sole agency of creation, what "Let the land produce..." implies, etc. Ultimately some humility is required to accept that the details of "how" are not definitively set forth.
Sure, the exchange of messages was about the claim people sometimes make that they are not interpreting the bible, but just 'read it as it is'. I was hoping for some insight into why people think that is what they are doing.
