See post 82 on this thread. Helps to reconcile some of your argument.
No, that really doesn’t help reconcile anything. That’s just a different way to argue that the Bible narrative is deceptive. If it’s deceptive, then it doesn’t have any religious or spiritual value to us, at least not more than any other myth or legend.
If you don’t believe the Bible account, that’s fine, go believe what you want, I don’t care too much. What I have a problem with is when people want to say the Bible account is “kinda-sorta” true. They want to have their cake and eat it too, but they are not being logically consistent.
