And this is where we disagree. I believe that the Bible is the Word of God, period. If one doesn't, then one can draw up their own scenario as to how things happen, which is what you are doing.
You and I must agree to disagree. I am not arrogant enough to think that humans could possibly represent the Word of God w/o messing up a few things and leaving a lot of things out.
For those Christians who think God really created the earth in 6 days because it says so in the bible, please read carefully the words of Jesus:
Matthew 16:6-12
"Be careful," Jesus said to them. "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees." They discussed this among themselves and said, "It is because we didn't bring any bread." Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, "You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? Do you still not understand? Don't you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? How is it you don't understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees." Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
God/Jesus speaks to us in parables. The bible is filled with them. So why are you so hung up on believing in 6 literal days when all of science proves you wrong? Why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? See beyond the words printed in the bible to the important CONCEPTS that lie there.
Do you not agree men wrote the Bible? It's not as if there were golden plates written by some Moroni Angel like Joseph Smith believed...
If this is your position, then I have two questions: 1. How did the Bible and all its books come into existence? 2. How is your view of the Bible different from the Muslims' view of the Koran?
