Samsara already jumped on this with...

Have you seen any talking snakes lately? Has the Sun stopped in the sky anytime recently? Why don't people live to be 900 years old any more? 

A lot of the Bible simply cannot be taken literally. It was written for superstitious people who lived two thousand years or more ago. Trying to justify it, word by word, in terms of today's science, is plain silly. 

Thanks Samsara... particularly liked the talking snake part!

And there are tons of other things. The age of the earth. Many of the "miracles" are now known to be regular and repeated events. 

I mean I could say that aliens caused everything in the Bible and I be on equally solid ground. It's a STORY. It's fine to believe it but there's nothing that you can prove about it... nothing. 

I'm sorry...
