There was no creation, no fall. There is no sin, and no Christ to redeem it.
The stories speak to meaning, not any facts of content. Correct?
They’re are no facts of Christianity that are separable from meaning, as result no truth of Christianity can be reduced to scientific and historic truth.
Because historic and scientific truth by nature are the negation of meaning.
If you want to talk about your world of meaning, there’s something to talk about, a comparative discussion to have. If you want to talk about the world of scientific and historical facts there’s no meaningful discussion to be had.
