I ask you, what is the point of educating us on the Bible if it's doesn't mean anything; if it really is fiction? This isn't an English Lit class; we aren't trying to understand what the authors meant, and what certain passages mean. We are trying to understand how people can believe what is complete rubbish.
What I want to do is explain what the authors meant and what certain passages mean. You are having trouble with that because you see it as a threat to what you believe. Evolution. You can't seem to do both.
I can explain to you how people can believe what is complete rubbish. Because they don't educate themselves. People believe what they want to believe.
