Everything I mentioned is very literally stated in the Bible. I'm very curious as to why you dismiss those and say it's out of line to bring them up? That is to say, if you feel the Bible should be taken more literally, how can you then want less literal interpretation of the uncomfortable parts?
I really have no dog in this fight, as I believe the Bible and Evolution can go hand in hand and are not mutually exclusive. That said, I don't know you Lucidus, you're probably a great guy but you are coming off as one of those smug science worshippers who think science is the answer to everything and is absolute. Except it's not. How many times has a scientific fact later been proven wrong? It was once known reality that the world was flat. The best scientific models are only the best scientific models until a better one comes along that can disprove it. Sometimes science worshippers tend to forget the very basis of science, which is to question everything. Oh, and as for the Bible, you realize there are two books, right? The 1st book is all about wrath and slaying and eyes for eyes, etc. Then this kid was born and a 2nd book was written and it becomes about loving your enemy, forgiveness, etc. The second book supersedes the first. Hence Old Testament vs. New Testament.
