Linear: My issue with the "acceptance of things I don't understand" is that I do understand a fair amount of the science that shows the literal interpretation of Genesis to be in error. I cannot suspend belief once belief has occurred. At least, not without convincing evidence to the contrary. None has been provide so far, and I have been looking a long time.

Jeanie: I know you don't accept Mormonism, but what I'm trying to say is actually that the Biblical account is not quite complete. I know some on here won't like that, and that's ok....but we have scripture that adds more to the picture than just the account in Genesis. I do not know how to account for some things either still, though, and we don't have all the answers at this time. But I am setting it aside till I find out the whole story some day. For the time being, though, it doesn't matter to me either. You don't have to accept Genesis as all literal or have a problem with it being a contradiction with true science. It will all be resolved... That is my point. God IS science in a way.
