Christian Faith Requires Accepting Evolution
#3
RE: Christian Faith Requires Accepting Evolution
I don't know when the modern revolution started, but John H Walton's book certainly sealed it. I've always had the view that evolution is correct, but reconciling the biblical view as I misunderstood it wasn't perfect. I had trouble confronting what I thought then were literalists. I've learnt now that that isn't literalism at all, but mistranslation. Seriously misguided translation beautifully put out to grass by Walton's humble bombshell.

Atheists confronting the flawed interpretation waste their time on that dinosaur. Godzilla is right... you can't reconcile that Christianity and reality. In my opinion.
