Quote:Anyway, it's not true to say that we read Genesis in EXACTLY the same way we read Hesiod or Shakespeare -- for aesthetic pleasure and the introduction of memorable images. Obviously, just the fact that so many people take the Bible more seriously affects our reaction to it.So we're now not to read it as mythology or science just as a mere cultural decoration .....
Quote:But since the arts in general deal with non-science issues that are important to life, Genesis is more like art than it is like science. It provides images and symbols, sometimes in narrative form, which enrich our thinking about our lives and the issues in our lives.Excuses Excuses.....

“No matter what men think, abortion is a fact of life. Women have always had them; they always have and they always will. Are they going to have good ones or bad ones? Will the good ones be reserved for the rich, while the poor women go to quacks?”
