My question is, does it matter? What do you think?

Can it at once be an inspired document delivered by a prophet of God and NOT be an account of literal events? I know that some have come to this conclusion. Others believe that the two concept are incompatible and reject it and yet others believe that the book does describe literal events.

I guess at some point all of us who believe have to reconsile a belief in the book itself with the reality of a total absense of physical evidence of the things it decribes. I'm curious to know how some of you have done it.

I now how I have done it, but I am curious to know what others think. Discuss.
