> “It [the Bible] contains TRUTH - not Facts”.

Amazing.

What kind of twisted thinking is THAT?

If it’s not factual, how can it be truthful?

And if it’s not truthful, how can it be factual?

What am I missing?

Sounds a lot like Dan “false, but accurate” Rather.

Obviously - quite a bit.

So, I'll keep it simple.

Remember children's stories - say The Tortoise & the hare?
Well, the FACTS are that there really was no race between a tortoise and a rabbit.

The TRUTH is "Slow and steady wins the race"

It is a story. It is allegory. It teaches morals and truths - NOT facts.

The creationists actually believe that somewhere out there, animals are holding races with turtles and rabbits competing.
