An exhortation from Greg on Genesis, miracles, and natural evil

@Greg, I will let @swamidass speak for Peaceful Science, if he wants, but I would point you to the Disclaimer, particularly:

Also note, there is no faith statement for Peaceful Science, it is an open forum where people from all walks of life and viewpoints and theologies (and lack thereof) are welcome to the conversation.

@Greg, I can appreciate your concern for truth and a defense of traditional views of biblical authorship and orthodox Christianity. That said, this is a forum where we can seek to understand each other better and “agree to disagree” where needed. The forum values good questions and good evidence in support of possible answers. You’ve made a point:

So rather than use it as an opportunity to attack somebody, perhaps now is the time to give some evidence for why your assertion should be considered. I know you believe it is “garbage” (and maybe you could find a different term), but I have no idea why you believe that except that you think it’s heresy. I have not seen any ecumenical council statements (Nicea, etc,) that indicate that “borrowing from another culture to build a story” is a heresy, but I’d be happy to consider evidence you provide to the contrary.
