Quick YEC Debunks

[Aegon]

Why do you say obviously? You find a literal interpretation to be a little ridiculous?

Because it wouldn't make sense for me to accept evolution and then believe in the part about the snake and the apple as having been literal.

True. You've reconciled your beliefs with the scientific reality as we know it today. I was far from a YEC when I believed too. I also accepted evolution, but I still fervently believed in the New Testament. I do have a question though: if you can accept evolution, why do you still believe in the stories of a man who could walk on water and rise from the grave? In other words, what about the Gospels make more sense to you than the OT? They both seem pretty unlikely, bordering on ridiculous if you'll excuse the disrespectful connotation of the word. And we've certainly proven scientifically that people cannot walk on water or rise from the grave.

I'm not challenging you, I'm just genuinely curious. Because when I was Catholic I didn't exactly have an answer to those things.
