God's day isn't necessarily = to our 24 hour model.

[(Anonymous)]

Any which way you can twist it to justify it.

[(Anonymous)]

Found the atheist.

There's one in every pack! (Like the jokers, only more tedious.)

[dethtoll]

You know what's tedious? You replying to yourself.

The irony is Creation Literalists would say the same thing.

[feotakahari]

Or you can just call it a metaphorical fable that teaches about morality. You know, like everything else in Genesis.

[(Anonymous)]

Actually a good chunk of Genesis is not necessarily about morality. Most of that comes later.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the whole concept of original sin kind of sticks out in peoples' minds as a signficant chunk.

[(Anonymous)]

Original sin as Christianity understands it is not learned from the literal text of Genesis, as can be seen by the fact that other religions which use Genesis don't believe in Original Sin at all. That's interpretation.
And even if it were in the text, it's mentioned in about 3 lines out of 50 chapters. That's hardly a 'significant chunk'.

[(Anonymous)]

Some of Genesis.

John Calvin actually found the story of Joseph to be extremely worrying, since it basically involves a hero of the faith propping up a dictatorial regime that trades freedom for food. It's an interesting stance.

[(Anonymous)]

I read Fred Clark too. He's terrific, isn't he? :)

[diet_poison]

that...isn't contradictory to what I was saying?

like I personally am not really interested in trying to smush around the Genesis story to make it fit evolution, but if you want to do that, then go ahead I guess, you can make pretty much anything work if you're approaching it from a "God's time/God's rules" perspective. I personally see Genesis as being way more metaphorical. (Not in its entirety, even. I don't really buy into the whole "women are the downfall of man" line. More just the "God made the world" general theme. I'm not super fussed about the details.)

[(Anonymous)]

actually the Hebrew word for day in the genesis story is a literal 24 hour day.

Moses didn't equivocate on that one.
