Sorry Myk, I simply cannot understand what there is to "interpret" when it comes to stating a ... fact.

"In the Beginning God Created the Heaven and the Earth" might as well be "This is a brick."

As only a fool and a knave, to quote Voltaire, would make a religion to do with a brick, the same is true of "religion" itself.

The FACT that this Earth we all live upon is part of Creation is inescapable.

I do not hold with religion at all for I "believe" that God Created the Earth.

It must be the easiest thing possible to "believe" in a fact.

I also "believe" that 2+2 = 4 , simply because it IS so.

So I "believe" that God Created the Earth ... because it IS so.

If He had not Created the Earth then we would not be here.

It is that simple.

It all reminds me of the anti-war song, "And it is 1, 2, 3, what are we fighting for, oh Lordy we don't really know, etc."

Apparently the "religious" are fighting a holey war over a hole. :bs:
