Any logical Christian can understand that thousands of years of story telling trying explain a theology will a) be simplified for an audience who has no concept of evolution and genetics yet, and b) evolve in itself as a story as it passes word of mouth through time, geography and culture.

Remember Genesis id the basis of not one but three religions and when it came to the written word, it was done at a time when the Christian church was fighting for political/geographical and montery power. The same church which is, of course, run by the most fallable of creatures......man!

The hierarchy of the catholic church published a teaching document in 2005instructing the faithful that some parts of the Bible are not actually true. The catholic bishops of England, Wales and Scotland informed folowers, as well as any others drawn to the study of the bible, that they should not expect “total accuracy” from the book.

So I'm quite happy with my standing with the big man, and if I'm wrong (and you're right!), I'll find out sure enough :unsure:

This is why we hear the expression 'blind faith'
I'm speechless.
Talk about brainwashing. From this population came Waco... Does anyone watch the UK show 'Waterloo Road' (on BBC Canada). There were a couple of episodes where a Creationist was going to fund the construction of a new academy for the inner city school that is WR. He did some of that brainwashing with some of the children more susceptible to being influenced - it was a pretty good storyline (of course, Brits being Brits they decided not to take the money if it meant brainwashing and ousted the American with the dosh). If you haven't seen it and have BBC Canada I believe the storyline will be coming up soon. They're just reshowing that season (on a Monday I believe).
