Linear: Maybe. If choosing to accept Christ requires a belief in a literal Genesis despite the scientific evidence that refutes it, then it may be too much.

Jeanie: Linear, sometimes you just have to let some things that don't make sense to you go till the Lord sheds more light on the subject. Personally its kind of a sad thought to actually think the heavens are closed and that God can't reveal anymore.... Even among my own faith, though, there are differences with viewpoints on this because we don't have the whole story. Some Mormons, even, think the world is young, some old....etc. It really doesn't affect our salvation one way or the other because no one knows for sure how it all happened at this point. But we believe it will be revealed. I wouldn't reject God on that issue. You have to take a leap of faith, sometimes, and let him in and let some things we just don't know for sure go for the time being....
