You did not.
Do you, in fact, believe that the earth was created in six 24-hour days?
By the way, I don't believe in the 6 days literal days. However I do believe that God could have created it in 6 seconds had he chose to.
I also don't believe the Tree of Life is a literal tree with roots and leaves. Nor will I contort myself to accepting there are multiple Trees of Life (as some have said in here) just to accommodate the visions in the first book of the bible with the visions in the last book of the bible.

More literalism.
The Bible was written for ancient man, and for modern man. It was clearly expected that man would learn a few things along the way. Well, I guess maybe not.

After all if a smart person like you believes it then it must be true.
