The purpose of the book "The Evolution of Genesis" is to take the Biblical stories out of the realm of mythology that a literal reading would suggest. It is intended to facilitate creationists acceptance of evolution.
So, to hell with what the authors of the Bible thought they were saying. Instead, lets make up new interpretations of their words that we can spin into being in line with scientific discoveries.
What a terrible thing to do to the Bible.

Not to mention the problems with a God leading a group to believe that they are his chosen people while actually lying about the whole thing so that some unrelated group thousands of years in the future will see that it really was some convoluted prophesy.

Terrible thing to do? What is terrible about attempting to put an end to a needless controversy.
Bastardizing the message.
Creationism fosters ignorance and a bigoted world view.
The end doesn't justify the means.

If you don't reply to a particular message, then we don't know who you're talking to. Especially if you don't use quotes.
Use the Reply button in the bottom right of a message instead of the General Reply button at the top.
