"By your analogy, I take it you were around when God created the earth."

It's a good thing this isn't a Phillip K. Dick novel, because you just flunked the analogy comprehension test.

It's not a question of having been present at creation, since Revelation did not cease at creation, but rather one of having perceived God speaking in approximations and allegories.

And that applies to everyone who has read the Bible, whether they know it or not.

Unless, of course, you think that the Parables had no deeper meaning but were just anecdotes.

You mean dark sayings?

There's no comma after novel and only one "l" in Philip, Dick.
