Much of the Bible is written allegorically. Jesus spoke in parables because the people of that time were not equipped to deal with direct evidence.
The further back you go in the Bible, the more allegorical it becomes.
The Bible is a source of spiritual truth, not historical truth (lthough there are certainly many recordings of historical events obseved by the authors). Why are there so few (if any) artifacts from the time of Christ? Such an important even as His Life and Death should have many direct evidenciary artifacts.
IMHO, it is because Jesus wanted us to operate from Faith, not Facts.
That is why the Creationist myth belongs in theology/mythology and Evolution belongs in science.
Like this?
John Chapter 20:24-2924. Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.
25. So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it."
26. A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!"
27. Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."
28. Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"
29. Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
Except the below does not follow:
That is why the Creationist myth belongs in theology/mythology and Evolution belongs in science.
You guys claim that Jonah, Noah are also myths, yet Jesus referenced them to His followers.
Do you not then have to believe them as well?
