If any other person would like to take up Steven's cause and discuss
things with me, or if Steven were to suddenly obtain the same ability
when he reads Darwin, and be able to understand the prose of the
Bible, then please create a message. I love discussing the Bible and
Evolution and related things.".....

Let's cut to the chase. If as you say (and I don't disagree) the Bible is
full of homely metaphors ... why aren't Genesis 1 & 2 two of them? In fact,
don't you yourself think 'six days' to be metaphorical? If the six days is a
metaphor, why isn't 'created from the dust of the ground' one, too?
