This is a question I want to ask anyone who is a theistic evolutionist. If the world was made over billions of years, then why in Genesis 2 does it say that it didn't rain until man was first made. That would leave billions of years without rain. If anyone has an answer, then please tell me.
A sort of religious question

I would assume most Theistic Evolutionists are not Bibical Literalists

That doesn't make sense, but because you're mixing science and religion and expecting exact results.
As an aside, there was no grass until after the dinosaurs died out.

Yeaaaaaaah.
I think it's one of those things if you believe it you believe it, if you don't you don't. Life can't exist without water, so a world without rain wouldn't be possible.

My most respected Jewish teachers always just saw Eden as allegory, but they're Torah scholars, so what do they know about the OG Testament?

I'm sure that many people don't see the Bible as things that actually happened. Some of it might be based in fact but overall I at least don't feel you take it as truth word for word.

Out of all the things you pick that lol
Being a 'theistic evolutionist' is to assume you don't take genesis literally in the first place, since it happens over a week

Yeaaaaaaah.

Actually scientists are beginning to question if methane or other liquid gases can support life.

Yeah, basically. In Judaism, the books of the old testament are all taken as history, but every single line is open to interpretation. Depending on who's commentary you're listening to, a particular passage could be literal, a metaphor or a completely different metaphor.

That's so meta.

Don't get me started on meta in Judaism, haha.
You have the Tanakh (Old Testament). Then you have the Mishnah, which is interpretations of the Tanakh based on oral traditions. Then you have the Gemara, which is commentary and interpretation of the Mishnah. That's the tip of the goldberg.

And then we have the Gamera, which is almost as terrifying as the thought of reading all those texts you mentioned.
Gamera is the wrath of God incarnate at how much time we waste on this. Gamera's cry roughly translates to "it's just a metaphor, dudes!"

It would be more accurate to say that life, as we know it, can't exist without water.

If I had been drinking something right now it would probably be all over my screen.
