I would REALLY rather only Christians to answer this question, please. It isn't that I don't respect the opinions of others, it's just that I need a Christian perspective on this.
I really have two questions, but they're related.
1. If it is a fact that human civilizations are recorded in history as far back as at least 12,000 years, wouldn't that fact alone completely destroy the possibility of being able to take the Creation account literally?
2. And if it's true that that would destroy the idea of being able to take the Creation account literally, then where do we draw the line in the Bible? How do we know which parts to take literally, and which parts to discount as metaphors?
I am a Christian, but I've been having trouble with this, especially since I've used history and archaeology to support my faith.
