If the creation story and everything pre-tower if babel is justva metaphor then why in the hindreds of times it's mentioned it never comes off as a metaphor? Like in Habrews 11 he talks about Abel, Enoch, and Noah as if they're real people then talks about other prophets
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

sorry about all the spelling errors. That's what I get for being a phoneposter

Reminder that the concept of a deathless creation is from a man's interpretation, not Genesis itself.
"But by the envy of the devil, death came into the world"

1)This is from Wisdom of Solomon, a deuterocanonical Book 2)Death came to the world refers to humans, who, alongside angels (demons included) are only immortal beings in creation.

So it's part of the Bible. Except it was used by Catholics since ever in broader context. For exemple Catechism states: "God did not make death, and he does not delight in the death of the living. . . It was through the devil's envy that death entered the world" (Wis 1:13; 2:24). And Wisdom 1:13 is quite clear that it means death in universal sense.

I'm still quite curious to see YEC explanations for some creatures, such as the baleen whales who feed on krill (animal life) in order to survive yet must have eaten vegetation of some sort, insects resembling thorns despite such characteristics making no sense in a world without thorns, or flightless birds when concerning which they were created and what sorts of adaptations were already present depending on the day.
Reminder: Creationism was what was believed for thousands of years by many people including Church leaders. Evolution is a very recently created scam that is now the "politically correct" way to think.
