He sounds like he accepts it and accepts Genesis. Genesis is nothing more than a poorly written allegory for supposedly a moral code we should all live by. Nothing scientific or historic about it whatsoever. To even mention it as a rebuttal to science is absurd. Even some Christian denominations don't take it literally.
So, if that is a Christian's only rebuttal to evolution, their argument has no true merit.
People can think what they wish, it is when that dysfunctional thinking carries over into the public school system, or our government, is where it becomes a problem.
It is the main reason I left Christianity, because of Genesis being touted as literal and then not literal, when the church realized it was up a creek when Darwin's theory started gaining wide acceptance.
And so, I happen to think that the whole religion is built on lies to keep a very powerful church...powerful.
Sorry to ramble.
