Ok, I have to ask. What is it that drives YECists to a literal interpretation of the bible? Parables seem to be a common approach in teaching morality. Jesus was said to have used them frequently himself. So why do creationists so ardently defend a literal interpretation of a text that was written without the benefits of modern science?
