The Book of Genesis is a collection of ancient legends passed down orally for countless generations before being written down. While some of it may have been based on ancient events I wouldn't take it literally. Live with good in your heart. Be an awesome person. God will not judge you on how hard you prayed, He will judge you on how you treated the people around you.

I have always had a fascination with geology, and even a casual geologist can see processes that obviously took great ages of time. I try to live in reality, and physical reality trumps mythology.

The bible is the Holy Spirit Inspired word of God- it is God’s word written through man- It is not based on legends- it is based on God’s word through man- You would do well to study just how Spirit Inspired it is-

[[I wouldn’t take it literally.]]

You are welcome to your opinion- however, enough people have Accepted Christ, and know His personal dealings with us on a level the unsaved can not know, to know that when God states He spoke His word through the Holy Spirit to man to write down- That He was not lying-

Again=- you are insulting people when you claim they believe in myths and legends, and inform they they shouldn’t take God’s word literally- God is infallible, incapable of lies- and when His word states that He spoke it through His Holy Spirit- every bit of it- His word is golden- His truthfulness and His word are what make Him God- To suggest His word is nothing but a compilation of myths and legends after God tells us directly that His whole word is truth, demeans the God billions of people serve- You are suggesting He lied in His word, or worse yet- it’s not Holy Spirit Inspired Word of God like He tells us-

[[Live with good in your heart.]]

I live with Christ in my heart- man’s ‘Good’ is nothing but filthy rags compared to Him-

[[He will judge you on how you treated the people around you. ]]

No He won’t- We are not judged on our sins because our sins have been forgiven- We will not be judged- We will be rewarded however-

[[I try to live in reality, and physical reality trumps mythology.]]

there ya go again- You are insinuating Those who believe God are living in make believe world by that claim

[[and even a casual geologist can see processes that obviously took great ages of time.]]

Many of those evidences have been proven to be able to happen in short cataclysmic events- and there are plenty of evidences that show a cataclysm did happen- so don’t tell us you have an exclusive grasp on ‘reality’ because you don’t believe the bible account of creation and flood- If you wish to say you have a different view, based on evidence you think supports your opinion- that’s fine- but couching you opinion in terms of ‘reality’ vs myth, unreality is insulting-

You know- I i ran into you a awhile back- and you were just as condescending then as now- You page looked familiar to me, and I recall having a very similar discussion with you then- Obviously you don’t care to quit insulting Those who believe in their Creator
