Splendid special blend coffee, it is :D

Thank you for coming along.

Your alternate views to the stories in the bible are highly welcomed.

The stories don't seem to make sense because they're not meant to, as long as they get the point across.

That is the nature of such stories, I suppose. They puzzle and I find puzzles worth to chew on. Since no one has absolute sovereignty of interpretation, many interpretations are what is interesting.

To get the point across contains what the writer as well as the reader thinks. And since writer and reader often do not meet in person, one writer has many different interpreters who think that a story brings the point across or doesn't do it. Many superb debates are the result of this.

Religious texts as well as religious handcraft I experience as art. That they also could be alchemical documents, I vaguely remember but wouldn't know more about it. So thank you for explaining further into it. I hope though that Newton was not right since I am very bad ad Chemistry. ;)

Whereas I don't want to see the creation story as "just a ..." for anything. I find it too fascinating for that, also and because the many thousands and thousands of subsequent writings and books inspired from the Bible would otherwise be missing to me.

but to create what?

Indeed, crazy in an inspiring way.
