It is.
You may ask question. Otherwise, that is it.
You have set your mind. Then that is it for you.
Of course I can't prove you wrong; it's an unfalsifiable proposition. Any doctrine of the interpretation of scripture is that, including yours. But yours is not the only one, nor is it normative for all Christians.If I assumed that, you can not prove me wrong.
Sure. What is the one consistent theme throughout the whole bible? Answer this, and I'll show you how you are mistaken.

The unique purpose of human life. (which is different from all other lives)
We need to see this theme across time by many many descriptions in the Books of Bible. This is the most wonderful feature of the Bible.
Ok, I want to be sure I understand you properly. Please explain how the theme is the unique purpose of life in the books of Song of Solomon and Revelation. And what IS the unique purpose of life?
Yes this.I'm here because I am interested in understanding the thinking of those who deny the evidence of their own eyes with regard to how we evolved. Also, with the distant hope of changing a mind and opening an eye or 2.
Quite right. But why do you need the literal inerrancy of Genesis for that?I do not have a special understanding to the Song of Solomon. But my general understanding is the Book describes how beautiful is the bride. A bride is a human, so we can understand it as a description of the beauty of human being. We (Adam) are perfect creature made by God.
In the Gospel Books, it is incredible to see that God uses bride to represent the role of human being in related to God.
In the Revelation, the Salvation is described as that Christians be lifted up to God, rather than God comes down to live with human (as Jews thought). In other words, it tells us that this earth is NOT our permanent home.
All these understandings, delivered to us piece by piece thought thousands of years, are extremely helpful guidances for us to live in a right (God's) way on the earth.
Because otherwise we're forced to apply judgement to all portions of the Bible regarding which parts are poetic, mythological, or literal.Quite right. But why do you need the literal inerrancy of Genesis for that?

Adam walk with God and will not die if no sin.Does it? Perfect in what way?
Not "why are we here" in a metaphysical sense. But rather why are each of us here on this forum?
Reality favours science over creationistThis was one of those rare boards that had an ongoing Creation/Evolution debate that didn't favor the evolutionist arguments or squash serious debate. Learned a lot here, the occasional Bible study makes it worth the drama. Just an excellent moderation policy and a chance to see things from a lot of different perspectives.
Reality favours science over creationist attempts to negate.
