@CynicalBroadcast I admit, Genesis is actual history to me, as it commonly was before the likes of Charles Lyell, Lamarck, and worst of all, Darwin who made the theory of evolution as we know it today mainstream. And we have been brainwashed into thinking that evolution is science rather than a philosophy pertaining to the origins of the universe and life on earth and the voices of those who dissent from this theory are heavily suppressed by academia and the media, regardless of how compelling of a case adherents of Young Earth Creationism (YEC) may have for regarding Genesis as actual history. How we view the first book of the Bible affects how we view the rest of it. For those who trust that the Genesis account of creation is actual history, they should have no problem trusting the rest of the Bible. I am being no more literal than how the written text presents itself and my faith gets tested in more ways than you know. The tests come whether we want them to or not. It is just a matter of whether or not we are willing to meet chose challenges. Some face those challenges head on and others would rather flee from the challenges and unfortunately, those who would rather flee are too many. And if you feel like you are not being heard, it is because it is really hard to hear anyone who speaks in riddles and in terminologies that most people have never heard of or know the meaning of and as far as my mind goes, it is in the same world as my faith which speaks more plainly and in a way that people can actually understand.
