Does she really believe that "real presence" stuff? Maybe science should investigate and make a definitive pronouncement (like they did on the creation of the universe)!

LOL...take a look at my #3....I meant to ping you but forgot.

I read it but found precious little comfort in it. You basically said the literal truth of the text must be accepted absolutely but then defined that term out of existence. And the old argument that the literal truth of the chapter is merely "one exegesis of the text" is a bit absurd. Are you afraid to say the Red Sea parted because this is merely "one exegesis" of the text? Or that the axe floated? Or that Bil`am's donkey spoke? For some reason it is only the creation is six days whose literal sense is to be distrusted as merely "an exegesis" while everything else gets a free pass (especially "this is my body; this is my blood").
