To prove your point.

you said:

"Jesus is of course talking about the spiritual creation, but it is also apt to understand God's patience with physical creation."

1. All of the parables which Jesus intrepreted had only one meaning.

2. If the parable had another meaning why didn't Jesus indicate that it did.

Perhaps you should quote a passage which is not interpreted in the text followig so I won't know for sure if you are right or wrong.

I should say however that apart from your belief in evolution you have some very good points.

I have found no date given when the Earth was created, but a relative time when life on Earth was created is given.

Unless of course you are willing to change the meaning of some of the words.

As for mayself I am unwilling to change the meaning of the words for my own indulgence.
