Why do these people continue to ignore the obvious fact that genesis was allegorical???? It boggles the mind.

God didn’t create the universe? God blew up out of cosmic dust too? Or God doesn’t exist?

Where is the allegory behind that?

Not discussing timelines, basic detail of whether God created things or not. Like chicken or the egg.

Uh maybe because it’s NOT allegorical? God said what he meant and meant what he said, also the science fits better with it than it does with Darwin.

Why do the “other kind of people” deny the deeper more fantastic reality that allegories can only “hint” at? The mistake being made is to hold to a view alledging that allegory holds no real truth of fact only myth, and there-fore must be disscounted from true logical scientific discussuion. If the creation accounts can be seen as allegorical, one must consider that God used allegory in order to to explain to our simplistic materialistic mindsets, truths too fantastic for our limited intellects to otherwise grasp! Christ was said to have thanked the father for, “Hiding His wisdom from the wise of this world and revealing it to Babes”.
