I genuinely do believe that there was a historical Adam and Eve and that those were the first people.

Okay.

Now, what did they look like?

I don't know.

I think they probably lived a long, long time ago.

And I don't know if the breakdown of Genesis chapter 1 and the like seven days of creation are actually attempting to articulate seven 24-hour days.

They could be.

I just don't think that's the point.

Okay, fine.

And going back to like talking about trying to explain these things scientifically, I always find like we can explore the answer scientifically, but that's only going to get us so far, especially when we're discussing meaning and purpose questions.

So let me give you a little bit of a story.

that a friend of mine, Glenn Scribner, likes to articulate in this parable that he tells that he calls Betty the botanist.

So you have Betty the botanist, and she's been looking at a plant sample in her lab.

She's been spending all weekend looking at this plant sample.

She's been investigating it and doing all of these tests on it all weekend.

And Jerry, the lab assistant, comes in on Monday and says,

Betty looks at Jerry and says, Jerry, thank you for the botanical specimen that you left me on the weekend.

Thank you for this botanical specimen.

I've been doing all of these tests.

I've been looking at the components of it and the complexity of the biology.
