Amen. Far to many Christians take the Old Testament as literal fact when it comes to Genesis. I'm sure a lot has been lost in translation and understanding of original meaning. What is written is more on a mythological level than fact and many of these myths are found in the older Sumerian beliefs about creation, which were incorporated into the Bible.
