Featured Is Christian College a good idea for your kids?

How is assuming evolution is true, that Genesis weas not a historical accurate account be critical thinking?

 

Good response, good question.

Within a month of becoming a Christian I was aggressively confronted with arguments against my new faith.
One of those arguments become a sort of obsession for me.
I studied as much as I could about creation... even as far as studying Biblical Hebrew

The college course in Science and Theology that I mentioned was lead by the late Dr. Wayne Frair, a YE creationist and almost a decade later, the author of the book A Case for Creation, (1983).
Dr Frair was a herpetologist, he studied the evolutionary lines of various turtle groups.

In his class he introduced us to a book by Bernard Ramm, The Christian View of Science and Scripture.
I was encouraged by Ramm's proposal, a view he coined Progressive Creationism (a kin to the day-age theory) but I was never fully satisfied that it was a proper approach.
I have read as many book on the topic as I could get my hands on.

It wasn't until reading Walton's recent books that I felt I could let the topic rest.
His synthesis of sound, conservative biblical theology and reasoning, in combination with the understanding of the complex issues orbiting the debate have convinced me that my search for understanding this issue has been resolved.

The Lord sdaved me while at College, so was a good place to learn how to deal with skeptics and unbelivers!

 

Except that his "sound reasoning" ends up with us having to accept a not fully inspired Text, plays artound with terms, such as the Hrbrew term for a 24 day, and also has one not accepting the plain teachi9ng that Goid created all life, needed no evolutionary process, one Adam and Eve, special creation of God, and discounts what Jesus and paul held genesis to be describing to us. I would prefer to keep the traditional viewpoints!

It's hard to argue with one who calls himself God.

Traditionally Christians believed in spontaneous generation.

Traditionally, Christians held with God as Creator, no need to use Evolution, and that genesis was recording down real historical events and persons!

 

...flat earth, solid firmament above, fire-breathing dragons, unicorns, ….

 

Yes, and theistic evolutionists hold to that truth.

God did not NEED to use evolution or any other process, including the literal "molding us from clay."

So your assertion that God 'needed' to do anything is false.

No, not really. There is ample evidence for non-literal interpretation of Genesis and Adam since before Christ.

 

Usually by those who hold to less than view on the scriptures, or keep trying to squeeze evolutionary "science" into it!

 

...geocentrism, the earth is 6000 year old....

 

Your constant assertion that people are trying to "squeeze evolution" into the Bible demonstrates you don't understand the first thing about the theistic evolution position.

 

Never stated tht, but would see it MUCH younger than billions of years old!

 

Did God use the evolutionary process to create mankind, and to have species change happen, or were all species as is created by Him, with Adam a direct divine creation?

 

....slavery, genocide, racial segregation,....

 

NONE of which is supported in the scriptures!

 

Heretical!? anti-biblical, you're not taking the bible literally!

 

All of those have been tradition “Christian” viewpoints at some time in the past.
Each one has been supported by Scripture as well.
