ANOTHER REVEREND RELEVENT WHO DESPARATELY WANTS TO BE NOTICED AND ACCEPTED BY THE SECULAR WORLD.

Note to the above apostate:

Jesus accepted and taught the account of Genesis as being literally true [such as Creation ex nihilo, Adam & Eve, Noah's ark, the destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah, etc.]. If you don't believe what Christ believed, you're not even a Christian, much less a Christian minister.

These stories are true. But they do not have to be "literally" true (although they might if it pleases God to be so). And Jesus did not teach that they were "literally true" as well as he did not teach that they are not. He was not involved with XIX/XX century controversies of US Protestantism. At least not at that time.

When you read the Gospels, put the scientific issues of modern biology aside. The Holy Scriptures are not the scientific handbook. They are something much more important.
