Why Not Literal ?

My responses will be based on the “Christian truth”, rather than the “Jewish truth”.
Regardless, I love the Jews.

RE: * The six day thing came from a babylonian myth. *
The account of the creation in Genesis came from God; however, many myths are formed by man out of truth.

The state of science has been continually changing as more of creation is learned.
Just as men once believed the earth was flat based on the state of science until more was learned.
Science has changed, but Isaiah 40:22 has not changed.

So too, evolution is nearing the “earth is flat” stage.
There is no fossil record of any “between species”. (after their kind) Genesis 1:21 has not changed.
