 ::::::You twisting words to prove by assertion has proved nothing. You are not the Pope and are not an ecumenical council. In any case, it is not a vote of numbers of the teachings of different denominations. That Genesis is literal, look up von Rad, Douglas K. Stuart in the NAC, Wenham in the WBC (he's in the both symbolic and real camp, just as the Catholic Church is: the Catholic Church teaches that it is a real, literal, actual, historical event described using figurative language: not that the event - the actual, literal, real, historical event - is figurative, but that it is not described in scientific terms complete with Einstein's field equations), and I believe the NICOT as well. It is a dominant viewpoint amongst evangelicals.  / "
