We will all stand before Jesus Christ, and be held accountable for every word we speak. I would rather err on the side of a literal interpretation of what He went to the trouble of having written down for my benefit, than trying to explain why I believed theories that violated his simple text.

For example, consider:

Exodus 20:11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:

You develop theories that directly contradict plain scripture, I assert the plain reading is true. I am quite comfortable in my position, as I trust you are.
