I do not think that a consensus will ever be reached, but it is interesting discussing the various ideas.

A consensus will be reached when we can ask God for ourselves.
Until then I think that the very process is good for stretching the mind beyond the man made boxes that traditional religion ties us into. We have already been freed of many.
These boxes come from pressure to live up to various interpretations rather than the Word itself. I remember one time I was talking about dinosaurs with a friend and our pastor roamed by while we were talking. The pastor said "You don't believe in dinosaurs do you?". I replied... well... they kinda found the bones.
But old school thinking held as hard to interpretations (or harder) as it did to the word itself. Our interpretations must always be up for review but the Word itself never need be up for such.
