I don’t see why one has to be a biblical literalist to understand what a literal interpretation would be. Is it your claim is that the English translations are so faulty as to render their use unhelpful? Of course I don’t know biblical Hebrew, but one presumes the translators did. I would certainly be interested in seeing a thoughtful YEC defense of a local flood or people outside the garden. And I would even more like to see a thoughtful reason for rejecting the clonal Eve. (I mean from a YEC biblical literalist. I reject Genesis 1-2 as having any basis in reality.)
