If Genesis is allegory then why do we need redemption, why do we need a redeemer?
Yes, that's certainly so.
In your view, does "take seriously" always mean "read literally"?
I'm not persuaded that it does. Even if we can't know the intentions of the original authors, later Christians were willing to take it both non-literally and seriously.
So now it's both non-literally and seriously? Are you in training for next mental acrobatics contest?
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
