The trinity of "God" could exist and "God" could have created the universe and you could remove all the contradictions out, could you not?
If it's all allegorical, then how do we interpret the life of Jesus? What exactly was he redeeming us from? His entire message falls apart.
EDIT: by his "life" I mean that because his relatives leading up to him are all allegorical, how do we actually make sense of Jesus' ministry? We're left with no choice but to suppose Jesus' life wasn't an earthly occurrence.

Evolution is another observed occurrence in God's universe. Adam & Eve seem allegorical again.
Quote:You or rather the orginal source of this arguement
100% my thoughts thank you very much.
Quote: is confusing a very specific apologetic for biblical content.
Therefore invalidating the conclusion of this arguement. in that a possiable interpertation or understanding about what the bible doesn't actually speak of, is not the same as actual biblical content.
Once again, evolution my friend.
The bible does not confirm nor deny the existance of evolution buddy. The only account given is in what happens in the Garden. The only thing we can say for sure is that it did not happen there.
