What I'm curious is though, from an OEC or from a TE, why the need to interpret Genesis in this fashion?
​
The OEC has exactly the same motivation as the YEC.
​
They both wish that the facts were in agreement with the Bible.
​
But they have different ways of approaching the problem that the facts flatly contradict the Bible.
​
The YEC denies the plain facts, and the OEC denies the plain meaning of the Bible.
​
To an outsider, both methods seem equally ridiculous.

That's the claim, but everyone has to determine for themselves how truthful it is. I see ~evidence~ that evolution is absolute in the scientific/atheist community.
​
Do you also see evidence, or even "~evidence~" that the "scientific/atheist community" agrees that 2 + 2 = 4?

Re: literature
Sounds good to me. Except you forgot one thing: you are an atheist and haven't accepted jesus as your saviour so you couldn't possibly understand the bible since you won't allow god to speak to you, thus rendering any possible interpretation you provide as incomplete.
​
We have enough actual idiots round here.
​
Parody is superfluous.
