Why? Do you not understand anything of what I said?
It seems to me that your main “beef” is with my not accepting early Genesis as history? As if that affects my reading of the rest of Scripture? Only if you take the bible as one complete unified text, and I do not. It was cobbled together by a committee. Perhaps God was chairman?
Really, you have a romantic view of the origins of Scripture that is not realistic. It is by human hand, witnessing about how God has been revealed, rather than a specific instruction manual sent from God that you need to read before living.
Yes God could have created the Garden of Eden and all the wonders within. Yes God can make animals speak. He has done and still does still do miraculous things. But, Scripture is not just a record of what God has done. It is more than just history. Each “book” has its own style, agenda(s) and authorship. They are not one, nor were they written by a single mind. You only have to read it to see the variances. Or maybe you think that the use of Jehovah or Elohim is just random and interchangeable? (not that modern translations necessarily distinguish them.)
