Genesis interpretations - how many are there?

RE: Genesis interpretations - how many are there?

There;s only one that matters...the rabbinic interpretation.  The people who came up with the story never thought it was literal in the first place.

It was intended as religious metaphor, poetry, not a news report from the front of theologically unimportant details. On it;s own merits it succeeds at that. Why Some Christians™ feel the need to rob magic book is beyond me.

Drich, for example..up there twisting his scrote trying to reconcile contradictory narratives. The compilers didn;t give a shit. They knew that the narratives were mismatched but it just wasn;t important to them because they didn;t need it to be true in the way that a bathsit creationist does.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
