It’s not all black and white.
Oh, it's not, is it? How about abortion. Maybe that's not "black and white?" Or how about homosexuality; maybe that's not "black and white" either? Or how about "the real presence?" The resurrection of J*sus? The miracles narrated in the gospels? Or the alleged miracles since that time (like your Portuguese sun miracle, assuming that a Byzantine Catholic wants to have anything to do with such a "Western" devotion)? Are they "black and white," or are they shades of gray? Maybe everything is shades of gray? Maybe there is no such thing as right or wrong?
Maybe just because A-mighty G-d says something doesn't make it so. Is that what you superior, "non-rationalist" Easterns claim? If that's "non-rationalism," I'll take "rationalism" any day.
What you absolutely refuse to respond to is the reason you and so many of your ilk choose the first eleven chapters of Genesis to be "not black and white." It's pure sociological bigotry. The first eleven chapters of Genesis are for "inbred trailer trash." It's not science! If it were, you'd reject every other miracle in history (which science insists are equally impossible). You're ashamed of "J*sus with a Southern accent" and your whole history of posting on this forum is merely to drive that point home: "Don't judge us ancient, authentic, mystical, sophisticated chrstians by those inbred morons who live in the Southeastern United States!" It drips from every article you post here.
I wish I'd had the foresight to be born among another ethno-cultural group. What made you decide to be born somewhere else?
