So? Something does not have to be a-historical to have allegorical meanings. But for some reasons you Orthodox and Catholics seem to insist that these things simply did not happen.
And which part of Genesis is allegory, btw? All of it? The first eleven chapters? The first 25 chapters? It seems to me that you only reject what constitutes "things that just don't happen." May I point out that people don't rise from the dead or get conceived without male sperm either? I guess that means that your J*sus wasn't born of a virgin and didn't rise from the dead either. That was all an allegory. Unless you want to be a hypocrite, of course. BTW, I find it ironic that you defend the Moscow Patriarchate to Tailgunner Joe, considering that that Patriarchate is notoriously "creationist."
The Church fathers are guides, etc but are not treated as gurus. That was the heretical error of Paulines.
Then I suggest you stop berating the Fundamentalists for not accepting them as gurus. Your hypocrisy is palpable.
See what I mean, Mr. Rogers?
Post your magisterial references right here. Papal documents and decrees of councils only; what theologians or Bible editors think is not authoritative.
I "berate" Fundamentalists for not accepting the 7 ecumenical councils. I assume you were using the "royal you" to mean all Orthodox/Catholics/Apostolic Churches.
The Orthodox for example have some issues with St. Augustine. That is not a big deal because what guides the faith of the Orthodox Church is the pronouncements of the Ecumenical Councils.
The Church Fathers are important guides to be sure but their works are commentaries on the scripture not scripture itself. All individual men are fallible.
