So if we were to take your argument to the logical conclusion, all of Jesus' parables must not reveal pertinent truths either.

Just because two people named Adam and Eve didn't exist doesn't make the theological/ moral basis of their story any less true. The idea behind Adam and Eve is that we, as humans, are imperfect and are going to sin because of that imperfection. I don't need Adam and Eve to be real people in order to understand that.

You've not only hijacked my argument, but you've hijacked logic as well, and neither of us are all too pleased.

I do not doubt you have no need for these things to be real and true, just as Reverend Watkins has no need for the Bible to be accurate and consistent. But why stop at Adam and Eve, or even Noah. Why does Christ have to be real if all that matters is that the message guide your needs.

Just so long as everyone is excellent to each other.

Hell, all we really need is Bill and Ted
