So you are obviously willing to consider that the language of the Bible is poetic in places where a clear literal meaning would be false; as in the case of the Earth not moving.

Well, duh, who doesn't?

You evos are the ones so hung up on the *literalist* label and always insisting that creationists are taking the whole Bible literally, even when we say that we aren't, that we recognize that parts like poetry aren't literal.

The evos are making the argument and chastising people for believing something they don't really believe after all. The evos are chastising people for believing something the evos THINK that they believe.

So, as usual, I'm going to ask for sources of of people or groups of people who don't recognize that all Scripture should not be taken *literally*, Or rather that there are people who demand that all be taken literally and don't recognize that there is stuff like poetry in it.

Who doesn’t?

Anyone who thinks the Earth is young doesn’t consider the evidence, that is why they make up their own.

Some people seem to prefer that.
