A very reasonable argument ...

... made by Rob Knop (blogger at Galactic Interactions) to creationist Christians. Here is the most important point, if you ask me, as to why creationists should not feel threatened about these arguments: Jesus himself taught in parables. IOW, if Jesus himself didn't teach using a strictly literal style, why would he (as God the Father) give us a series of books (Scripture) limited in such a strictly literal fashion?

I told Rob I'd give him some link-love, and we're definitely both on the same side of this issue, so here it is. He has several good posts, IMNSHO, on the subject. They're worth a read.
