I understand that there are a lot of people out there who think that the Bible is the true, literal word of God. I see where the word of God bit is coming from, but I don't understand why it has to be literally true. It seems that in the New Testament, Jesus tells a lot of stories to get his point across, but that no one thinks that there had to be a real good Samaritan or a mustard seed. Why, then, must there have been a six day Creation or a catastrophic flood? Why couldn't those also be stories that are more important for their lessons than their veracity? I don't mean to offend at all; I would just like to understand your point of view. Why do you personally believe that it has to be true?
