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.
So you're rather they be outright enemies than simply agreeing to disagree on the details.
Genesis 6 makes the creation story of the first 3 chapters come alive for me. It depicts outright interference by rogue “spiritual” elements which caused great violence and destruction upon the Earth. It really is a depiction of genomic interference from outside entities...the war of Satan’s seed against the seed of Eve. The first 3 chapters begin making a lot of sense when viewed thru the lens of Genesis 6.
I suspect secretly a lot of folks “in the know”(yes even the evil secret movers and shakers as well) all ready have grasped this. The movie of Noah(trailers available) which is coming out this spring, seems to depict a blossoming of this root of thinking. God is warning us, even thru indirect means via the media. We will have no excuse...we are entering the Day of the Coming of the Son of Man, which as fore told, would be like the Days of Noah.
