(August 29, 2017 at 12:38 pm)Neo-Scholastic Wrote: To my mind and in contrast to both the OP and alpha_male, I think figurative language such as "foundations of the deep" and "window of heaven" point to a more metaphorical interpretation of the story. I never regarded the Bible as a science book.

Metaphors still have to refer to some object or action. Was the Flood a real event or not?

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
