Are you making this stuff up? I have been a Christian for 30 plus years, am an avid student of the bible, and have NEVER heard that interpretation of Genesis. When in doubt, read the bible literally unless it clearly indicates the author intended that portion to be poetry or some sort of literary device (like using metaphors or similes). Sort of like "she runs like the wind" or "fast as lightning"...those are very obviously not meant to be literal. Same with the bible.

I became a Christian on faith but it is the bible that keeps me from doubting. It is the most amazing ancient document ever for many many reasons. When in doubt, who you gonna believe, one disillusioned guy named Darwin who used very simplistic ideas to describe very complex processes and systems or 40 authors, many of whom died for what they wrote about.

Hmmm... I accept the findings and discoveries of thousands upon thousands of scientists since Darwin why have produced mountains of evidence supporting evolution.
