The Bible is a couple thousand chapters long. The creation story is the first two chapters. It’s pretty obviously only attempting to establish that God created the universe in some ambiguous way and move on with the story. That doesn’t stop people from inferring all sorts of things from what is essentially a poem.

It’s literally a poem in the original language.

So you are saying when the Bible says Jesus died for our sins, it doesn’t actually mean he actually died, it’s only a metaphor.

  I know it’s tough to pay attention for four whole sentences but if you read them again slowly I think you’ll see that I did not use the words Jesus, sin, or metaphor in any form which should make it pretty clear that, no, I’m not saying that at all.

    I canr believe you just said that Virgin Mary was an inside joke, and every one knew Mary, like knew mary.

    The joke is inside Virgin Mary if you get my drift

    You handwaved away glaring inaccuracy in what is purported to be the word of God with “it’s just a few paragraphs before the story”.
    
    If you get to pick and choose what is truth, then anyone else can do it too.

    No one is having a comprehensive theological discussion with you jackass. We were talking about a very specific thing. Stop being obnoxious.
