Thanks for taking the time to formulate a partial answer my questions. But apparently, you think that by death came man and not vice versa; and though 100% true, the Bible was not verbally inspired.

So let me ask another: How many 24-hour days was it that photosynthesizing plants had to exit before the sun came into existence?

. . . had to exist before the sun . . .

Buy the way, I've been very courteous to you regarding you believing the Bible as much as I do, just interpreting it differently. Not once have I said you don't believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God. Nor have I said that you don't believe the Bible is 100% true. But you always assume that I have only a half belief in the Bible because I don't interpret it exactly like you do.

In fact, I use phrases like "maybe I'm wrong, but", or "IMHO" (which "is my humble opinion"). That's my way of saying I disagree with you, but not with an arrogant faith in my own interpretation to the point where anyone who disagrees with me is only a half-way Bible believer. I'd appreciate it if you'd do the same for me. I always assume the Bible is 100% accurate and anything in it that seems wrong is either my own bias messing up my understanding of it or the traditions I was raised to believe giving me a misleading bias of it. I believe you're of the same merit when it comes to believing the Bible, I just seem to be the one to realize that you can be spiritually mature and still disagree with me.
