I understand what you’re saying.
Why this particular regional story instead of another?
For me, this one hasn’t gone away after a couple of generations.
It’s strengthened as the millennia have gone by.
At some point it just comes down to believing or not believing.
I often struggle with all of it, essentially believing that there’s more to this whole thing than just evolution.
But even I have seen signs where my doubts are answered with evidence.
I feel that if a person wishes to truly seek God, to see a sign, they will.
I go back to my Dad, who I feel is the smartest, most perceptive person I know, and he absolutely, unequivocally KNOWS that there is life beyond this, and that Jesus is our Lord and Savior.
He’s not a BSer, he never has been, and to see him state his convictions so confidently really makes my soul soar.
