    Depends how literally you take it. Ironically, generally the people who take Genesis the most literally take Jesus saying “this is my body” and “this is my blood” the least literally

        Its a lot easier to tell that the bread didn’t magically become flesh than to tell how old the earth is tho

          The implication is that GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE

          So a guy imbueing a cracker with the spiritual energy of Christ feels a lot less impressive in terms of “magic we’re willing to accept”

            Idk man, they both believe god created the universe. But one of them is holding a piece of bread and insisting it is in actual substance human flesh.
