I am curious are you a Christian? If so why don't you believe in the literal translation of the bible?>>
I am a Christian and I do believe in the "literal" interpretration (not "translation") of the Bible.
I do not, however believe that God is a blast furnace ("God is a raging fire"). That would be silly. There is nothing in those first two chapters that demands we accept it as a chronology, much less a chronology of 6000 some years ago. There is NOTHING, absoulutely NOTHING in the first two chapeters of Genesis that require us to accept a "yom" as a 24 hour solar day.
