Augustine said that the creation account in Genesis was a condescension to our limited understanding.
Obviously, he was influenced by 19th Century German liberal Protestants in this. As everyone knows.
Thank you. I have limited memory skills in the AM.

The non-literalism of Augustine on Genesis is well-known to all. Unless for some reason you regard him as the sole authority on this issue I see little reason for the continual using of him as a club.
I hope you also reject such childish supernaturalisms as the virgin birth and the resurrection of J*sus, btw. Things like this simply don't happen, so they couldn't have. That's the way the reasoning goes, isn't it?
