This is overstated in spades; indeed millions of Christians have believed, and continue to believe the biblical account, and it is by no means inconsistent with current knowledge, or ancient knowledge.
Perhaps the tendency to deify science from some fringe groups has a lot to do with these absurd questions.
“Over-stated in spades” ? I can see neither of us ever make statements of sweeping generalities.
I would be interested in knowing which part of my post was the most over-stated?
That is a good point, but of course the argument begins as to whether is this story is a an account of historical events, or rather an account of the nature of mankind, and God’s relationship to us. In any case, we are not to discount or ignore it, but look for meaning in its words.
