I have every right to include bracketed notes of what I believe the author meant in a given point. That is why it is in brackets and described as my own interpretation. In any case, you can read the text and see for yourself if I am right. While I think it is obvious from the text of what I quoted, I thought it flowed better with my bracketed notes. If you think he was talking about something else entirely, I simply disagree with you.
Arkguy:
As for the point you wanted me to retract, is was not my point, but that of the author. You can write to him and ask him to retract it. Given the fact that even on this fairly slow forum, the fact that two of the handful of authors actually posting on this thread fall directly into the category the author described (those who nearly lost their faith due to YECism) seems to prove his point. I know a number of others myself.
Taking the Bible non-literally does not mean you disbelieve the Bible. Since *you* read parts non-literally, does that mean you disbelieve the rest?
