It wouldn't matter, would it?
The Mormons claim an angel left plates and, I take it, you don't believe them either ... do you?
So I'll just take your point with a grain of salt.
Them's the ones.Do you mean the gold plates, with Egyptian hieroglyphs, that Smith read with a magic "seeing stone?"
I do not.No.... I don't believe that.. do you?
Not as miniscully small as I take these posts.You should ease off on the salt consumption. You'll do yourself some damage.
It't not the part where the Word is interpreted that bothers you. It's when the Bible takes great pains to state that the evening and the morning are one day; when when it describes creation as taking six day. It bothers you when the Bible speaks in very specific terms of a global flood that destroyed every land animal not on the ark. Such events invalidate your claims of molecules-to-man and your contention that the laws of science; not God; control the world. Because you choose to believe that you proclaim the Bible false, God a liar and Christianity to be mythology.Not your interpretation of it. But of course, just like dad you claim that your interpretation is the word of God, correct?

It doesn't require interpretation to read words and believe that they mean exactly what they say.

You're a minister and you don't believe in the word of God?

3: The Book of Genesis is not a science text, it is not about HOW God created but WHY God created. It is allegory and myth rolled into one package.
No it doesn't.1: According to the Bible (if you are taking it literally) the creation took one day
Yes, it does, just as the word day does now. In my day, it was more easily understood. However, an evening and morning always means one calendar day; a single rotation of the earth. It never means anything else.2: The word for 'Day' used in Genesis is 'Yom' which has the following meanings.
Genesis describes the process and the time line. Exodus provides the elapsed time since in terms of the generations. Genesis also describes a global flood. Either you believe that the Bible is the word of God or you don't. It's not any more complicated than that.3: The Book of Genesis is not a science text, it is not about HOW God created but WHY God created. It is allegory and myth rolled into one package.
