Exactly, asaris.
To fundamentalists who interpret the Bible literally, everything from Genesis to Revelation happened or happens exactly as written.
For the rest of us, part of the challenge of our faith is figuring out what the meaning of the text is.
And just like we don't believe there was a 7 day creation, we don't believe that there will be a "Beast" and armageddon.
Most modern theologans do think that Revelations refers to the trials that the early Christians experienced under the Romans.
So yes, there is truth there, but it has to be dug out.
