Good job
Since I chided you in another topic, I want to commend you here, Almeyda (and spell your name correctly). This is a great post!
You might tell Crashfrog that, just as the theory of evolution has the right to claim constancy with several lines of science, the Bible may claim constancy with several lines of history.
The Bible does not stand alone; but it can and will when the Creator returns. At that point in time the Bible will be established as an honest attempt by the Creator to warn His children of his pending return. In the meantime, keep on keeping on.
To those who view part (or all) of the Bible as confusion, I invite you to make a direct connection to Him and ask Him to explain it. He wants to do that and He can - in a more clear way than any fact of science can be interperted by the senses. No religionist is required. To those of you who have tried, remember that Edison made 31 attempts at the light bulb.
Can Genesis be taken literally? Ask Him. Does Genesis have a purpose? Ask Him.
Very best wishes,
Bob, Alice, and Eve
