Even if Genesis has mythical figures, the overwhelming majority of references is to people who were historical.

Secondly there is a predilection with eternity that tends to play down any value of this life on earth.

Eternity isn’t the issue, the Kingdom is. Eternity begins wherever the Kingdom does, and the problem is that people conceive of the Kingdom of Heaven as something we want to get to when we die instead of something that has come here and in which we get to live already.

Evolution pretty much takes away the possibility of a literal A&E in the time frame given in Genesis.

This assumes that there is a time frame given in Genesis.

Evolution pretty much takes away the possibility of a literal A&E in the time frame given in Genesis. I don’t consider this a bad thing but I can understand why it is unsettling to others. All those Sunday School lessons are hard to forget.

@Bill_II

You haven’t read G.A.E. yet?

Sometimes you recklessly-pick-apart discussions of almost miraculous
reconciliation of Theism with Evolutionary models.

Do you see why I point out the issue?

There is no issue to me as the critiques have been found wanting. It’s good PR for the GAE view when criticism of it is so fundamentally bad and based on assumptions rather than evidence.

But there is a good percentage of folk who like to just nitpick and tear things down and demolish. That is easy and nothing to write home about. Takes no effort to peddle doubt. I prefer to try to build.
