Yes. He only needed the archetypes though.Like, do you believe Noah literally put a male and female of every living species on a boat?

But how did life happen and evolve without God?Aha! Proof of Evolution!![]()
There’s no disconnect. I still believe the Bible. It describes a literal event. Whether the Flood was Regional or Global is a matter of debate.Because if you say regional, clearly you’re okay with reading the Bible with something besides 100% straightforward literalism. Yet you insist on a totally literal Genesis because you “believe the Bible.”
Surely you see the disconnect here.
Hah, I appreciate it. You know how needy I am.I was busy. Now I have more time for you![]()
It comes down to semantics. Did they mean Global or The Known World?But you clearly don’t believe that the Bible describes the event literally
I believe that the Bible describes literal events. Where most foolish people get stuck is on the wording.You’re implicitly acknowledging that not everything in the Bible is to be taken 100% literally.
It might be possible that people lived longer. The genetic bottle neck from our first parents and the Flood could’ve switched genes off.So when the Bible says Noah was 600, we should read that to mean “very old”
I don’t believe in a strict literal or allegorical interpretation. Everything is looked at separately.but the Bible might just describe it allegorically.
I don’t think anyone believes _everything_is allegorical. Some things are clearly meant to be taken literally. I don’t understand why you insist on Genesis being literal, especially when the Catechism acknowledges it uses figurative language. We all agree God created the universe at some point. I’m just saying that it clearly wasn’t done literally according to the account in Genesis.I don’t believe in a strict literal or allegorical interpretation. Everything is looked at separately
I don’t care if you object. I’ve been very civil throughout, and I’m not holding a gun to his head to make him respond. He’s actually one of my favorite posters; just because i disagree with him doesn’t mean I dislike him personally.I was taught Genesis records actual history. And since this is now open Season on Biblical Literalists, I object to the brow beating. If the Bible tells us 600 or 900 years, that’s exactly right.
How high was the highest mountain in the known world. There is a reason that phrase is in there.It comes down to semantics. Did they mean Global or The Known World?
