Torah is the eternal truth given to us by G-d. So how could it have stories like the creation account and the Flood if scientists claim it did not happen that way?
Who says there is a contradiction?
One thing doesn’t necessarily follow the other.
Weren’t you ever taught, as I was, that “the Torah is not [just] a history book”?
Is the phrase “the finger of God” a falsehood in the opinion of those who say Hashem doesn’t have a finger? Do you disagree with them? Are Chazal saying the Torah is telling a lie when it writes “an eye for an eye,” which in their opinion is not to be taken literally?
Who says something has to be true in every sense for it to be called true?
That sounds ridiculous to me.
If something is true in at least one possible sense, it can reasonably be called true.
