text: It might come as a surprise to you that a literal interpretation of the Bible is not a requirement to be a Christian.  I've studied in seminary, what about you?  I've read the Bible front to back 3 times, you?  I'm intimately familiar with how Biblical canon was created, the early Church fathers and their writings, the problems with certain dates and constructions, the historical and archaeological evidence that supports and refutes certain biblical accounts, etc.  
  
  So yeah, your knowledge of the Bible and biblical history isn't even remotely comparable to mine, and neither is your understanding of natural history and physics, apparently.  
  
  Are you even familiar with the contradictions in the Bible?  Like the chronology in Kings which give differing accounts and dates for the reign of the Kings of Israel vs the Kings of Judah?   Probably not, because you've never studied the Bible academically.  Your lack of knowledge doesn't make me a fake, I just happen to know more things than you
