Joykins said:Just because I don't take the first few chapters from Genesis literally doesn't mean that I think they're not true.
There are several important truths I take from the first chapter, for example:
1. God is the creator of the material world.
2. God creates order and life out of chaos.
3. God has merely to speak and it is so.
4. What God created is intrinsically good.
5. That fertility comes from God
6. That God provides sustenance.
7. That it's really important to take a day off from work once a week.
Well, you have said you don't think tha part about God saying it was done in six days is not true. One of the things you are not learning from the text is that God is telling you the way it really was. He was there; you were not. He is EXPLICIT in His description.
