Paula,

My argument is not that smart, Godly people reject a literal Genesis, so that view must be valid. And I do not think truth is determined by majority vote. And I do not think any and all views are equal.

My faith is like a bull’s eye target. In the core, I put the essentials, like trusting in/on Jesus. The elementary teachings are listed in Hebrews 6:1-2, yet there are believers that differ on some of these, such as baptism. I can explain my understanding if asked (believer’s water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism) but others may disagree. And guess what? I might be wrong, but I have a very high confidence based on the word (which is primary), my experience (includi, and the teachings of the church in history and among people I trust.

Creation is not an elementary teaching and I study the word and works of God. And guess what? I might be wrong, but I have a high confidence.
