Then you would think that God would wait until man HAD advanced so that they could grasp the basic meaning. It seems like the big fella would be smart enough to figure that out, wouldn't you? I mean, you claim YOU have figured it out, with your elaborate gobbledygook about multiverses and quantum particles. Why not wait and communicate it directly to you? > Allegories, parables, similes, etc., are the way this was achieved. Don't you think it possible that those allegories and parables came about the way they all did, as plain old inventions of the human imagination? After all, these same stories (virgin conceptions, for example) were around well before Christ. > Also, The Word of God had to be given to those early humans such that > they would have the same advantages that we have, today.

Your claim of God as the omniscient science teacher remains unconvincing, and is hardly original. I have no idea how you arrived at this point of view, but it is on the whole rather ridiculous.
