I believe the book of Genesis is inspired by God and 100% true.
However, that doesn't mean I believe it to always be "literal."
I don't believe the earth is 6000 years old and I don't believe the "days" of creation are 24 hour days. Scientific evidence totally contradicts this. Today's "creation scientists" are great people, but I find their evidence lacking.
BTW, I don't subscribe to theistic evolution nor the "day/age" theory either.
Here is what I believe. God created the Heaven's and the Earth. That part I know is true. How long ago and how long it took....I don't have the answer. God created men and women in his image and we are not the results of primate evolution. Oh yea.....and Jesus Saves, which is what I think really matters.
