I find it interesting. We were struggling with our creation, and those stories were a way to rationalize it. Obviously they seem silly now, but it is our history.

Exactly. It’s an easy way to rationalize the things that can’t be explained. It’s all theories.

I’m doing that this year. Bible in a year from Ascension Press, it’s a Catholic program that has a podcast and reading plan
If Catholics pay attention at Mass, they get most of the Bible read to them every 3 years

Sorry for late response, yes.
I grew up in church and my grandparents were very pushy with religion, yet they bounced from different Christian sects... I believe in a greater power, just don't care for all of the made up stories.

Which parts aren't?
What made the land and the sea?
How believable are certain tales written by followers and then adapted by kings and leaders?
There are beliefs that I have.. I go with the basic principles. Don't kill, steal, be an a-hole..
But just as I don't trust most media... the Bible is thousands of years of twisting great words into what some king wanted you to read.

Now you bring man into it, by saying the words have been twisted. No doubt about it.
Yet from the original canon, no archeological finds have contradicted any scripture. And many finds have indeed confirmed scriptural accounts.
All literal. No.
Figurative literature. Some certainly.
Teaching your "basic principles"? Yes
With a viewpoint of a Creator God.
It takes more faith for you to believe the "big bang theory" than for me to believe in GOd.
Order out of disorder, or nothingness? Not according to the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics
But the great thing is that you get to believe whatever you choose, as do I. And I'm not mad about either of those, although many atheists are perpetually angry.
