(December 31, 2010 at 12:33 pm)EvidenceVsFaith Wrote: Its literal meaning is objective. And its metaphorical meaning is objectively whatever the metaphor is defined to mean.So to confirm: the objective meaning of Chuck's statement is the literal one, independent of whether he intended it to be a metaphor? And I should interpret the statement by its objective meaning, just like the way Chuck interprets the 7 days of Genesis?
So to simplify it I would say that its metaphorical meaning(s) is(are) more subjective, in a practical sense. In the sense we can't really know what metaphor is being used if that metaphor is being conceived of on the spot and so isn't explicitly defined in any dictionary. But its literal meaning absolutely is objective.
