Yes, of course the Bible has to be interpreted, as I most recently said here. HOW it is interpreted, the rules for its interpretation, are the issue. A literal interpretation is still an interpretation, but it aims to understand the written text as closely as possible as it was written, or as true to the intention of the text as possible.
Hey Faith.
I'm not quite familiar with your position. What happens when a literal interpretation of the Bible is contradicted by evidence, empirical or historical? I know it's the position of most YEC organizations like AiG and ICR to reject any such inconvenient evidence. Is this sound operating procedure in your opinion? Should Creationism try to use science to support itself, or be faith-based?
