Well played, in this word game we got going here..
“Made out of dirt” is the simplest most straight forward way to express “it”.. across maturity, dialect and culture..
An honest person would have to admit it.. a beautiful metaphor..
A lineage of “begats” has always been quite boring..
even when they relate to the birth of a “messiah”.. or God-creature.. (bible)
Genesis 1 thru 3 may indeed be a metaphorical rendition
of things “we” couldn’t possibly understand, even Now...
The arrogance and hubris of humans may be limitless..
Which makes “the Test” of humans in this life mandatory..
For all are tested to weed out the spiritually weak and chronically naughty..
Is God cool or WHAT?...
You will have to forgive me, I’m not quite sure I understand the point you’re driving at, but I wish to note that the person I’ve been arguing with specifically said that Genesis was *not* metaphor.
Now, given that you are a religious person, I do have a question to pose to you: What if the bible and all of Christianity is a test of your reason cooked up by Satan, and the people that get into heaven are those that discard it as illogical? How could you find an answer to this question?
Granted, I don’t believe the above any more then I believe as you do - but I must ask how you differentiate between the two.
