You're talking to an ex-catholic altar boy, and I was told by a Christian Brother that even the church in Rome took the Old Testament with a pinch of salt. The earth being made in 6 days, Adam & Eve... No-one really believes that. Yet you get these new upstart American fundamentalists churches that take Genesis as,,,,well gospel!
I mean, just because it is in the bible shouldn't make it unchallengeable. Who wrote it, from what source did it come, is there any proof anywhere that says Genesis was divine? When did God share with us that he did make the world in 6 days? When did God denounce evolution? Yet there we have Kentucky trying to make schools only teach creationism.
So why does this age old story that someone made up concerning the creation of the earth hold such respect with some of these churches in the States? I mean Christians the rest of the world over are happy to dismiss the Genesis fable, why not the US bible belt? What part of this tale is credible?
