CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Why does the OP assume that literal fact alone equals truth? That is an idea tied to the Enlightenment, not Jewish or Christian culture.

Scholar, I think you are assuming that the OP thinks this. I believe he is stating that there are literal truths within Genesis that many ignore.
Let ask you though, is Genesis void of literal truth?

I believe the poster is speaking about God being the Creator and creating in six days. You and many here disagree with his and my position on this, but I think we can live with that.
If you choose to not believe that God created in six days that is your choice.

The First Day:
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
1) The verse is only narrating us the summary (story) of the Beginning - God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
2) The Scripture is documenting us the actual condition of the Deep before the creation of the heaven and the earth in the beginning.
Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
3) God brought forth the Light Before the actual creation of the heaven and the earth took place.
The actual making/formation of the 1st heaven took place on the 2nd day Genesis 1:6-8 not on the fist day - Genesis 1:1. The earth was made on the 3rd day - Genesis 1:9-10
I see no "gap" (theory) between Genesis 1:1-2. God does not repair anything good that he makes. He only creates new ones for perfection.
Conclusion:There's nothing wrong with God's Truth as it is written in the Book of Genesis. The problem is the flawed understanding of men.
