I answered you the first time - I think the Bible is more parable than history.

You never pinpointed what THOSE verses were supposed to mean. You just vaguely waved your hand. Don't you want the feces-throwers like Icky to look a mite plausible when they say that those awful Christians have a monopoly on evasion, lies, and distortions? They won't, unless you stop evading.

Nonsense. I'm not evading. I quite clearly said that I believe it to be parable. So all those verses you guys keep posting, with all the "one man" in red, I believe that in that context the phrase "one man" is poetic and not literal, just as the word "Man" with a capital-M is used to represent "mankind" and not one man in particular.

Now that I've clarified my position, will creationists stop lying about the Theory of Evolution and the wealth of evidence behind it?
