So if it is a metaphor, and not how things were really created, how does this not invalidate the creation entirely?

For it claims God created everything.
But if this is only a metaphor, then what actually happened?
Since we can't say, then how many of all claims relating to it are valid, and how?

So, you have complete faith in a religion whose basis is a story your are “not totally sure�?

So, you claim your religion is true, because your god created the universe as described in Genesis, but that creation story isn’t real, but a metaphor.

This means you don’t know anything about your belief.

Back to the drawing board I guess.

Have you tried Zoroastrianism? It’s nice. So is Jainism.
