Christian Faith Requires Accepting Evolution

[Angrboda]

Ignoring the problem in justifying "literalist" interpretations themselves, once you start "deliteralizing" the text, there is no justifiable stopping point that doesn't depend, ultimately, on ad hoc reasoning and special pleading. So, the quandary for the modern Christian is, they cannot stomach literalism, they won't accept treating it as completely fictional, and there is no stopping point between Scylla and Charybdis which doesn't end up being crushed by reason and modern scholarship.
