Okay that title is a bit aggressive. I hate making definitive statements like that and would certainly have preferred to say 'the Bible has some scientific and historical problems but God is probably real'. That said, you would have been far less likely to click on it if I did so here we are... For any Christians reading this I acknowledge that you likely won't want to accept what I'm about to say. That's totally fine. I'm not interested in forcing my views on anyone and I don't think it really matters if we all agree on the interpretations of Genesis. If you're open to a new approach to Genesis I encourage you to keep reading but if not that's fine with me too. If any of you were Christian but don't practice anymore or are 'spiritual but not religious' then I suspect you clicked on this because you have probably felt at times that parts of the Bible didn't make sense and perhaps you didn't find answers that worked for you so now ...
