We'll just have to agree to disagree on all this Bible stuff.
I never insisted on a literal interpretation of the Bible; and apologize if i didn't explicitly state that before. But looking at what I've mentioned, we have to look at the context of the writing and piece things together ("smash" things together, as you like to call it). If I subscribed to a literal interpretation, i would have insisted that the earth was created in 6 literal days (if not 6,000 years).
And had we brought up the books of revelation, ezekiel or daniel, its almost impossible to insist on a "literal interpretation"
You bring up a lot of contradictions, but my point is that there is a give and take -- there can still be a dialogue as to what really happened. Like my eye-witness analogy; we get all the evidence together and then we can rebuild the scene of the "crime."
We can continue on, but as I also mentioned, I'm not interested in you coming up with huge lists and me responding with huge responses. I'll accept a "cease fire" for the sake of brevity.
I need to get my Dreamcast hooked up again. Can't get enough of that Space Channel 5.
