My thesis is simple: if you’ve found something in the Bible that conflicts with what you know, you haven’t yet found the truth the author is making. The truth for me in the creation stories of Genesis is a legal truth; the heavens and earth, etc., were not made by mankind; no ruler, no man, or woman, can claim or own them. The truth about the "thirteenth rib" and other supernatural events is the decided (judged) ambiguity they represent. These few statements this morning deserve more energy than I have today. Still, I wanted to get them down before I turn to other things.
