Glenn -- you wrote (on 9/30) as follows:

"In the Beginning God created the heavens and the Earth.

If there is no history in the above then we are chasing our tails. If
Genesis 1 is allegory why must we believe that the very first verse is
real???? That is inconsistent."

Sorry Glenn -- I see no inconsistency. This verse tells us two things,
(1) there was a beginning of things (from our perspective) and (2) God
did it. It tells us nothing of HOW anything happened. It tells us nothing
of "history."

As you can see -- I'm back online & far far behind in reading the
digests!
