that is an allegorical tale. God's existence does not rely on this story. as i said, Christians have and do use God to explain natural phenomena, but that is NOT what He is. He is a self contained entity, He in no way relies on a description of any natural event.
I think this is a discussion you need to have with your fundamentalist friends first, then we can talk. I don't really debate Sophisticated TheologiansTM any more. I've found that the last step towards atheism is best completed on one's own.
i have had this discussion many times with the few fundamentalist friends i have. its funny how many less insults are thrown around in arguments about religion among the different sects of Christianity than in arguments between Christians and atheists. a lot less sarcasm too...
