Re: Our own list?
The mountains don't literally drop with wine either, and last time someone was pulling my leg or mentioned there is more than one way to skin a cat, neither my leg was pulled, nor did anyone skin a cat.
The other day someone discussed a quantum leap but since it was not observed, did it occur?
Then on TV, someone said maybe we could see the light at the end of the tunnel on the housing crisis, but I couldn't find any homes in tunnels.
A friend said we were living in high cotton but we never lived in a cotton field.....weird.

Re: Our own list?
Few points:
1. The Bible does not say the earth is 6000 years old. Could be a young earth but the Bible does not say that. Nor does the Bible even say the past is immutable.
2. Plenty of people disagree on the global flood event but regardless, the Bible does not say the flood was necessarily global. Could be or could be not.
3. We see absolutely no evidence of gradualistic evolution as you claim but that's a different topic. Suffice to say for here is that despite imo Darwinism being wrong, the Bible does not say it is, at least for most species. The Bible does suggest God specially intervened to create mankind but even there, it does not specify all the details.

Re: Our own list?
Literally true does not mean the Bible doesn't use figurative language to describe a literal truth. I don't see why that's so hard to understand.
No biblical literalist thinks Jesus was an actual lamb walking around on 4 legs, for example.

Re: Our own list?
Looks like I need to drop off the thread. No malice or anything but my discussions of what the Bible says and the language could be off-limits here or maybe not....kind of hard to tell, but can't really risk it.
