>>18254664>when the Genesis was never taken literally in the early christianism and its extremely new concept?That's false, some church fathers took it literally, some allegorised it. But the fact is the Bible self-references it as literal stories, Adam and Eve are cited as real people multiple times, included by Jesus.
