Yeah, okay.
I quit looking for your truth decades ago as it turned out not to be truth. And, yes, I did look. A cartoon isn't going to change my stance...not even one made with such wonderful intentions....soul-saving, bringing people to Jesus, blah, blah, blah.
ok IF that is offensive .. replace young with simplistic polarized cognitive reasoning..
Again nothing to do with jesus, nothing to do with evangelizing or saving souls.
the primary effort here is to destroy foolish church tradition and mindless repetition with an understanding od the 1st and most basic story with a simple but accurate reading of that passage. one that allows both science and religion to work side by side.
are you afraid to find out that science and religion are not two mutually exclusive principles? that if one is right the other is wrong?
Again not trying to reconcile the whole bible just this first story of creation.
You are going to rewrite your sacred book to try to make it make sense?
Good luck with that...I suggest you start with "Once upon a time...".
