The other Christians in this thread would be wise to do the same when it comes to online conversations.

Firstly, Jordan Peterson is a very new "Christian"; the Boy Genius isn't sure of his Faith yet or understanding of Scripture (he's no Bible teacher -- he's still learning himself.)

More importantly, if Scripture isn't taken literally when it is the obvious intent (as specifically in Genesis), then God is being called a liar and His claims illegitimate or silly.

Lukewarm "Christians" who abide in this position are hedging their bet. It will bite them in The End.

Pagans/Agnostics/Atheists all snicker over pulling the wool over Christians' eyes on selling the "Biblical literalism")

He's a better Bible teacher than most Baptist preachers.

If this were true, Genesis 1 and 2 would be irreconcialiable. It's the least literal of any section of Scripture.

Genesis 1 and 2 are direct contradictions if taken as literal truth. They by definition cannot both be literally true
