Not everyone who reads Genesis is of the YEC persuasion.

And afterall, the account was writen for humans to read and understand. We use a mixture of the very literal and a variety of devices in our language quite confortably everyday with no problem, why should not another language do so also?

I agree, but you're really starting to have trouble if you admit that Genesis isn't literal when it says the earth was created in a few days, then insist that just a few verses later it is literal. I don't know if man just popped into existence, other creatures evolved before/during/after Adam and Eve were in the garden, or if man evolved slowly over time. Whatever happened, Jesus Christ came here to die for our sins.

So...you can’t undedrstand defending the NEA and ACLU is the liberal position and you can’t name a single high profile liberal that supports creationism/ID and you’re not understanding what these threads are about.

Your only real argument is that anyone who disagreed with you is liberal, isn't it? I don't care if evolution without reference to God is supported by liberals, because it isn't supported by me. There are plenty of conservatives (including on this board) who believe evolution is true or aren't sure. I've already said repeatedly that I don't know if evolution is true or not, but if it is it affects my faith in Jesus Christ not one bit. The hand of God could just as easily be involved in evolution. I don't care if those of us who are unsure fall outside your requirements for conservative or Christian. Fortunately, you don't get the judge my faith in the end.
