Why Christians Attack Evolution

[Bob Kelso]

From birth? Impressive early development. Or not

I'd call you a smartass but this made me laugh, for as long as I can remember I should say. My family got me way early but what can you expect from having a Southern Baptist preacher for a grandfather?

There's been a revolution since you left. I couldn't detail it all here without re-writing a book.

Take a look here, if you can ignore the guys opinion he did a pretty good job at a thorough synopsis. The ideas are by no means new. But the study and support of everything stated leaves YEC etc looking groundless. The opposition cannot support their claims to biblical accuracy where Walton provides it in droves.

I'll read the rest of it later because I found it interesting but I did read Proposition 16, and found;

Some also object to evolution as the Bible (Genesis 2, Romans 5 etc.) treats Adam and Eve as real people who are very important for the doctrine of sin. There are a number of problems with evolutionary origins of Adam (at what point did he become made in the image of God?, was it only a single original pair?) that have not been adequately resolved. However, there is much more to biological evolution than the evolution of man, so one can use evolution to explain the existance of most of the diversity of life, but believe something special happened with humans.

Seems there are some major holes in conflating evolution with a literal reading of the bible, now I can see where one could agree with evolution and the bible from a moderate's interpretation but then we run into the issue of having no need for Jesus because the original sin never happened.
