Thread Name: Bible question
Subject: RE: Bible question
i dont think that my taking the account of their creation as historical makes me dangerous either.

Pete... the 'danger' involved is not about a person. It is about holding out a 'concept' for others that confuses two types of thinking. The problem is that accepting a literal view of Genesis as historical fact also requires you to adjust other facts to fit....(age of the Earth, specific things about geology, physics, paleontology, etc.)... that are pretty clear and scientifically corroborated when not discussing biblical interpretation.

As I have tried to stress before, there are ways to retain a belief in a Supreme Being that do not require ignoring and redefining tested scientific theories (and "theories" does NOT mean unproven... )
