A Scientific Parable

Even Fundamentalist Christians who read the Bible literally don't have trouble accepting Jesus's parables as parables‹as stories illustrating bigger ideas. That is because they are flagged as parables. The author of Let There Be Life asks readers to look at the "first seven days" of creation as a parable too.
