Hi Charile,

There are denominations who interpret the Genesis story as an allegory or metaphor for the bestowment of 'the first souls' on humans. This allows them to 'accept' the scientific facts whilst retaining their supernatural beliefs. The lengths that people can go to to maintain their delusions never ceases to amazes me.
