I think we can all agree that the entire Bible is not meant to be taken literally.  Consider the Song of Solomon (what would his lover look like if we take it literally?) or the book of Revelation.

So I would like to understand the case for believing the Genesis creation account, among all Biblical texts, is one that is intended to be interpreted literally. I'm not interested in scientific evidence for a young-earth in these answers. I'm interested in Biblical or historical reasons why this text, as a whole (as opposed to individual words), should be considered literal.

I would also discourage answers that address specific words in the Genesis account (such as the Hebrew 'yom'), but if that is the strongest evidence you have, then I won't consider it an invalid answer.


Question: Correctly debugging switching (DC-DC) boost converter with Oscilloscope
Answer: From the problem description, two possible hypotheses come to mind:


There is a ground level mismatch: The DC-DC boost output has a ground that is different from your oscilloscope's ground
The probing was done with no LED load, so the boost circuit is attempting to generate the highest voltage it can. How high this can be depends on the circuit design, of course.


With some additional detail on the boost conversion design, additional hypotheses, or a definitive answer, might be possible.
