Do you also literally believe that the entire universe was created in seven days? What about the world being flat? Or how about every human starting in the Garden of Eden? None of that stuff is taken literally. The bible was written by humans, thereby, even if I were to believe that it was god's word, it would be inherently flawed, as no human could create something that was perfect, and it would be biased to reflect the person's point of view who originally wrote it, and then even further biased when it was translated who knows how many times. Geographically, Jesus would not be white. Would you accept him were he dark-skinned? Faith can be so easily changed, can't it, Zonalon.

Don't simply accept what the bible says. If you believe in God, find him yourself.
