    So the answer to your questions is no, but almost.
    as much as i respect a literalist approach to this topic, that is not the context in which i asked the question.

    if you want to know my opinion on how the narrative of genesis is both completely true and yet not literal, we can talk about that perhaps on another thread (or perhaps here...i just hate to hijack). for now believe me when i say that a non-literalist view of the creation narrative takes absolutely nothing away from the infallibity, veracity, or power of God's word.

    right and that is why thousands of trained scientists have yet to completely iron out the wrinkles. you hurt your side of the arguement by not admitting its shortcomings.

    how do you reconcile that belief with the present scientific evidence (i.e. 'old earth') coupled with the fact that most ancient hebrew literature is highly symbolic?

    Personally, I believe it could certainly be symbolic...but, nothing in the original language suggests that.

    it is not he language that would necessarily have to suggest it. the fact that it was written by jews at the time that it was written is enough to lend support to it being symbolic (and when i say symbolic that is not to mean that i believe it necessarily to be an allegorical tale...just thought i'd clarify).

    No, I understand. And, I've not taken Hebrew yet...just what I've heard about the syntax of that particular portion of scripture.

    I'm a fence rider(read, not educated enough on the two theories to properly accept one or the other). I could see both as totally possible and totally consistant with the nature of God.

    can you see young earth as consistant with your knowledge regarding science? and if so, how?

    THEarmada has the book that I need to refer to right here. He'll either chime in or I'll have to get it from him (maybe I'll buy a copy myself).

    Well at least a straight answer for a change.

    Essentially, the question is what the term "day" means. All throughout scripture we see evidence that a day doesn't always mean a 24-hour period.

    Oh, and I think switching the conversation to religion is a wise idea for you...then you can fall back on your talking points about how religious people are idiots. Don't think I haven't noticed that you refuse to discuss the holes that have been pointed out. Is it because your unwilling or unable? My guess is the latter.
