Bible Note: Greetings Steve! Thanks for the input my friend! Allow me to comment briefly on your points! 1) I disagree mildly! I really wasn't trying to use this as a straw man my friend. In my experience, every person who believed in Theistic evolution also did not believe in a real Adam and Eve - at least not as presented in Scripture. The whole point behind making a 'day' mean more than a day is to accomodate evolution. Once this is done, then none of Genesis can be literal. So, I believe this is a valid point. 2) I agree. However, one should note that nothing in Galileo's theories contradicted any Scripture. His theories only contradicted the offical teachings of the church. 3) I agree. The problem is not science, but the assumptions behind much of the science. 4) I agree. I really have no concern over the age of the earth personally. I would probably lean toward the younger earth, at least in comparison to evolution. But, my primary concern is the trend to spiritualize all of Genesis when it purports to be history. Does the creation account give every scientific detail? No! But, when it says that God created Adam as a fully fuctional adult male, I believe it. Weather!!! We are drowning right now! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
