Here you go, @gbrooks9. This is the PDF the publisher sent me. If your printed version says otherwise, please scan it and post/email it to me, and I would be glad to correct the record. Otherwise, stop resorting to innuendo and, like your role model, slander of my professional reputation as a journalist and editor. Try addressing the facts, rather than ad hominem and innuendo.
Duh. Your crew over at “Peaceful” Science has yet to answer the challenge of how Adam & Eve were socialized. They failed the first challenge, regarding how did Adam and Eve learn to speak? But the more difficult question is left hanging. Even God himself couldn’t teach the first couple how to conduct themselves in society outside the Garden, since humans learn those things by observing how other humans conduct themselves in specific situations. YHWH himself couldn’t teach Adam and Eve how to act around other people, since that is learned by observation and imitation. Do a Google Scholar search sometime on “social learning” or “enculturation” and look again at my article in God and Nature magazine, Practical Problems for Literal Adam. Good luck.
That’s all you’ve got to hang your hat on, those who depend on Romans 5? What I keep telling you and you fail to understand is that the median age of evangelicals and especially YEC is 55. The old folks aren’t changing their minds. My audience is those who accept evolution and seek to reconcile it with faith, which is Millennials and Gen. Z. I’ve given up on YEC. Try to change their minds, if you dare. Good luck.
Sure. I have a deal for you. I’ll read your material and start a thread on BioLogos dedicated to your scenario and my reply. In the meantime, you start a thread over at “Peaceful” Science asking Swamidass and the peanut gallery to deal with the facts, not ad hominem or libelous claims. Does Tasmania add 10,000 years to GAE or not? Deal with the facts. Does GAE make God a monster or not? The crew has already taken a stab at it in If GAE were true, the God of the OT is worse than Dawkins and Hitchens describe.
Get your crew to confront the facts, and I’ll be glad to start and host a discussion of your ideas.
@ManiacalVesalius started a discussion on inerrancy that is worth checking out. Biblical Inerrancy Is a Modern Invention. Lots to discuss there, but the time is growing late. Maybe tomorrow.
