Amen to that Don...

However, how does one point and say creationist or point and say Christian? A fundamentalist would by their very nature say that to be a Christian is to believe it all, rather than embrace the metaphor.

The Archbishop of Canterbury said yesterday that the physically impossible bits about a sentient God, who had a son, and the son came down to earth from Heaven HAD to be literally true, otherwise the whole Christian ethos doesn't make sense.

I would say the exact same thing.

Not sure I would come to the same conclusion though....
