*Interesting article and as previously stated I believe that alot of the Bible is not literal as well and it has several levels of understanding. I have several points and a theory to share as well.
*I have indeed read the Bible (King James version) from beginning to end. It took me a year and a half because I was actually looking up words in the dictionary.
*As I recall in the Bible, a day to God is like a thousand years.
*According to archeological findings, the oldest human bones are as old or older than dinosaurs.
*According to science. The Earth is like 13 billions year old.
*In my perception the story of creation happened in a span of Eons and Adam and Eve were not the first humans that were created. Thats why God said "Lets us (more than one) create man in our image and it was good. It was good, why? Was it bad before?
*I have theory concerning the fall of man: It is that when Man/Woman got kicked out of the garden of Eden to prevent Man/Woman from becoming like them the Gods (Extreme Concern of the Gods) because in the Bible: King James: Genesis - 22 "Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”— 23 therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. 24 So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life".
*The theory is when Adam and Eve got evicted from the Garden Of Eden that means that Man/Woman DNA was shut down. Thus reducing life span, health, size, abilities, psychic abilities, basically everything including the ability to easily be in contact or/and experience the spiritual realm. Thus the fall of man/woman (summarization)
*Happy Sun - Day.
