Ponderings, Oh No. This Might Piss Some People Off, Oh Well

One of the most ridiculous arguments against was one dealing with the question of fossil evidence. I heard someone say that God created the earth with signs of age, like God created Adam and Eve as fully grown. What the fuck? So this would mean God was purposefully placing things on the planet that could mislead people. That sounds deceptive to me. I do not think that evolution and a belief in God are mutually exclusive. I do not believe that the creation story can be taken literally. There are just too many holes. I have pissed some people off simply by asking where the wife of Cain came from. In the Bible the creation of Adam and Eve is described along with their children. Then all of a sudden Cain's wife shows up. There is no explanation of where she came from. The creation stories work as allegory, but not as literal truth.
In places in the story of the Isrealites there are places where I am puzzled. In places God remembers His people, and after the years of slavery God heard the cries of his people. Did God go off somewhere and forget them for awhile? Did he suddenly think,"Oh,yeah I have some people somewhere to take care of?" What was God doing during this time? When God all of a sudden heard the cries, had God been distracted by something else? Just wondering. Some people get pissed if you ponder questions like this, but I don't give a fuck. I wonder about these things. Amusing ponderings.
Some fundamentalists say that the Bible is the literal truth. Then some of these people say that the wine mentioned in the New Testament, like when Jesus turned the water into wine, that it was not really wine with alcohol. They tend to ignore the Song of Songs or speak of it as an allegory. They do not want to accept it as a love story that verges on the erotic, For them the parts that confirm their beliefs are literal, but anything that does not fit with their ideas are not to be taken literally. They can't seem to be able to make up their minds.
Addendum: God gave us brains with which to think, not for blindly following anyone.
