The problem is when someone insists on taking a passage literally, one refering to the corners of the earth for example, and holds onto the literal reading regardless of how much evidence God places in front of them.

Dayton, you can't distinguish between your interpretation and God. You think that God wrote the Bible directly. You ignore the contradictions between the literal Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 that can't be there if they are both "God's Word".

I'm afraid that you are lost. Lost enough to believe that your interpretation is really God. Lost enough that, as fragmentsof dreams points out, you ignore everything that God puts in front of you. Lost enough that you can no longer recognize that Creation is also from God.

I think you are very lost. Hopefully you can find your way back again.
