Christian answering questions.

[Pat Mustard]

The only tiny minority who do not agree are Biblical (or Qur'an) literalists who think it would violate their faith (and invalidate the sacrifice on the cross) in order to reject a literal interpretation of Genesis.

The thing is though, which literal reading of genesis? The bible has two creation myths, gen. 1 and the garden of eden in gen 2 & 3. These two myths flat out contradict each other, even in Cherubims 'non contradictory' kjv, so if you plump for one you have to reject the other, unless you argue the perfect god took a mulligan on the first creation and started over.
