I need to rephrase this, I have realized.

A: as far as evolution, if there is evidence out there that disproves evolution, I will look at it, but until science itself decides that the theory is unable to compete with the new theory, THEN I will accept the new theory, but creationism ain't it.

B: as far a literalist interpretation of the bible, NO, never in a million years. Why? because I know FAR too much about the history of the bible, to ever take it literally.

It is a GREAT book, but it is mainly allegorical and morality based, it is NOT meant to be taken literally.

Man is a spiritual creature, and that is where the bible reaches, not to the brains, as in literal, but to the spirit, or the soul.

So, there is no way that I would ever take the bible literally, it would blind me to the magnificence of god's creation as shown through the scientific process.

The more that is discovered through science, the more wondrous it becomes.

There, and on that note, I bid EVERYONE a good night and have a great week, I will see you all on Sunday night after my homeschooling astronomy trip, cross your fingers and hope I catch some fish, because trout is on the menu for Friday!!

The judgement seat of Christ will hear you eloquent words and shudder I am sure.

What about the history of the Bible has led you to conclude that it is not to be taken literally?

Have a wonderful homeschooling/astronomy venture! Hugs!

When you get back, if you are in the mood to do it, we could discuss the difference between the Bible and the Word...
