And I should interpret the statement by its objective meaning, just like the way Chuck interprets the 7 days of Genesis?

You should interpret it by its literal and objective meaning only if you think that what he is saying is literal and objective and not metaphorical and subjective. How could you know whether he was being literal or metaphorical?

You can only really trust the context using your intuition, I guess.

But IF his meaning IS literal then that IS objective.
