    AND why can't genisis be literal? Who sais it can't, who has concrete proof that thise events never ocured?

    Ummm yes... Genisis cannot be literal... as there is proof of evolution which disproves a literal translation of the whole 7 days thing. As well the proof the universe is older then a view thousand years old. It can be figuritive but literal has been proven false.

    Yes, a talking snake and a tree. It's a common element in practically all of mythologies, why does it shock you? The tree usually holds some sort of prize or treasure, and the snake guards it. It's pretty simple to understand.

    You know, practically a lot of the wisdom acquired by men can be derived from mythology (any of them).

    I don't think stories in Genesis should be taken literally. After all, these stories were passed down to generations before they were actually written down. I do, however, still believe in the point Genesis is trying to convey, which is God's existence and His greatness.
    You're just another bastard.

    I don't think God's gender should be taken literally, after all, God's gender claim was passed down to generations before it was written down.
