See post #11 for a link to an article that I thought had a very interesting take on the topic.
It looks like a logical way to approach it. But what I can’t agree with with respect to these Creationists is that the Bible is scientific text. I think that is absurd. It may be historic as it presents historic events, but its not a history text.
Its a guidebook to salvation - about God, man, morality, human failure and triumph, Redemption, the way to treat people and society. And when people start looking to it as something else, they get into problems.
