Bible Note: Steve, you are obviously standing by your original position and insist on calling the creation account a parable. I quote the dictionary definition you supplied: Parable, "a short, fictitious narrative of a possible event in life or nature." Accordingly, the creation narrative of Genesis may be fictitious. Perhaps then, creation didn't really occur after all! It may be a mirage....... You state further: "Possible - God might have done it the way Genesis 1 says, or he might have done it another way." Then we have God telling us in the first few verses of Genesis how He created the heavens and the earth -- but He might have done it another way. This strikes me as quite an odd way for God to begin His book to the human race. I have no further comment. --Hank |
