Call Keating a heretic making an excuse, but the same could be said of your interpretation.
I'm glad Christ came to establish His Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will put my faith in the translations derived at by His Church, since you and I could debate this all day, and then go debate with someone else with their own individual interpretation. Perhaps this is why there are over 30,000 denominations today??? :(

no, there are so many denominations because people wont believe what it clearly says. It says 6 literal days. That is repeated several times in other books like Exodus.
We do not have different denominations over whether David captured 20,000 horsemen or 2000.
We have different denominations because the Bible says we are saved by grace, through faith, and that the local church is the head of authority over the local assembly of believers, and some choose to say a certain city is head and that works are necessary along with Grace.
Different denominations exist over error, not interpretations of difficult passages, but over the plain, clear passages. Those that are obviously not believing what it clearly plainly says are in error.
