Now THAT is funny!
Many, many people sucked into false religion (what religion was ever true even to itself?) jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Ahhh . . . the old non-debate debate. Well played.
I have to admit, that seems to work for a lot of people. Gives them a warm fuzzy sort of feeling deep down inside. I prefer the literal approach, it is, in my opinion, far more rewarding, for example it took me to the following which I offer...

How many humans does the alternative suggest?
How often in recorded history has science misinterpreted floods for other natural phenomenon?
Has anyone, virgin or otherwise, ever become pregnant without having her ovum fertilized directly by a human?
