Dear listmembers,

In response to a series of posts by Glenn Morton in a thread titled New Flood Data, Dario Giraldo wrote:

"There lies the crux. Because in Gen. 1:1 states that all was underwater.
In v.6-7 describes God separating the waters. In v.9 states that the
dry land appeared. And again in ch. 6 through 9 describes the planet
underwater.

So, if I believe that the earth was never underwater (globally) then the
first chapter of Genesis is wrong..."

As I have posted, (and herein lies the real crux) it is only the unsupported, provincial and literalist interpretation of scripture that makes scripture "wrong" -- not science.

Best regards,
K.Lee Lerner
