agree s/c, not only all this but a spinning globe orbiting the sun makes God out to be a liar which by the way has been NASA's agenda all along.
Ah, the Conspiracy will out, won't it? And of course, with a conspiracy of this magnititude, more than half the world has to be In On It. It's all about proving Genesis false.
Onliest problem with that (well, OK, there are a shload of problems with it, but nevermind that now) is that most Christians believe Genesis to be mostly figurative anyway. They believe Genesis to an account of what God has done rather than how He did it. They believe that God created everything, and they also believe the Earth is round, and that it orbits the sun, and all the other stuff that we know to be true by simple observation. They don't expect Genesis to be scientifically accurate, because it's not a scientific writing. I mean, duh! We all say "the sun rose this morning", but we know that it isn't a technical description of what happened. It's what
look likes happened, and everybody understands it. No conspiracy necessary. But that doesn't hinder y'all from creating one, does it? And like most conspiracies, it's almost purely fantasy.
So the good news is that 98.537% of Christians, and 99.975% of everyone else, will think you lot are a bunch of loonies, I'm a bit more charitable than that, but not by much.
So no, no one with a functioning brain thinks Genesis is a lie because it uses archaic slanguage and symbolism. They don't expect it to be a technical dissertation. The vast,v
ast majority of believers are entirely comfortable with it.
The downside is that pretty much all unbelievers think your lot are barking mad and ready for the rubber room, and they all see you as representative of Christians as a whole, insignificant though your numbers may be. They hear you, and think "If that's what Christians believe then Christians are lunatics. But of course, you can reassure them that not
all Christians believe the stuff you do, but only the
real Christians. Yeah, thanks a lot.
So hey, congratlations of your driving unbelievers away from the Christian faith like a large hawk scares away clouds of pigeons, assuming that was your intention. Otherwise...
