Creation as presented in Genesis chapters 1 and 2

Hi PD,I've enjoyed your posts here over the years and I enjoyed this one as well. I read but usually do not participate in these kinds of threads since I am not a believer. None the less I felt compelled to add this small point to this discussion.While your posts are most accurate in reality, it is obvious ICANT is not heading in this direction. From his opening and throughout I see ICANT attempting to determine what the KJV says from a modern literalist point of view. I think ICANT believes in a modern literalist interpretation and he is showing in this thread what he believes the proper line-by-line modern literalist interpretation should be.I also believe his interpretation has a great deal of merit from a modern literalist stance. I say that he has succeeded in showing to his fellow literalists what a strict modern literalist interpretation of KJV could/should be.Though I do not think this was ICANT's intention, to me as an outsider and to echo your post in stronger terms, he has also amply demonstrated the absurdity of all such literal interpretations.
