I think we should. If we cannot take God's word seriously in Genesis 1, then where or when can we take it seriously?
I think we should defend it as well Brother:The first Part of Genesis DEALS with creation: There was an Evening, there was a morning..." if we begin to undermine this, I think we are on a slippery slope!
The point is that not everything is very clear on the bible and we shouldn't stress out over non-essential issues. There is going to be some things we don't understand.
OK, from your argument, what if I said :Well,Genesis is not that clear, perhaps the Gospels are not either. Perhaps they need a "touch" of Higher Criticism to bring out just the basic elements o Truth.
