I suppose it’s a nice thing to have someone holding that line, though nobody can know for sure. I imagine that your faith inspires many people. It’s that someone who affirms evolution firmly can believe in the Scriptures. And so, the worst enemy of Christianity (no it’s not satan but evolution) is no longer an enemy. Do you know if your position is similar to Tim Keller? The position just seems completely made up to me. It’s like saying there was a big population that evolved and one of them was named ‘man’ and the other ‘living.’ I think it is partially misleading in that people easily connect dots in that thinking modern genetics actually proves this geneological Adam and Eve. We all know it does nothing of the sort and you believe your position by faith (which is fine and admirable-I know you know this but fear others will not realize this). I just wonder where most people go after a real Adam and Eve where God called man to go live in a magical garden, and then brought Eve into the picture after ‘man’ took a nap, tired from playing scientist, where they walked around naked (separate from their parents in marriage - always an odd addition to the story for people who had no parents - this perhaps strengthens your viewpoint) with talking snakes and then God got mad and killed almost everyone a few chapters later.
This being said I think your position is also fairly popular for the same reason Reasons to Believe is somewhat popular amongst conservative Christians (though still pulls in a tenth or so of that of YEC organizations as of 2011). In other words this ancient document correctly describes real history and modern science affirms it all. After all, “science has never proven the Bible false.” I hear so many folks saying that in my part of the country it drives me nuts. And in some sense they are right, so as long as either your are flexible in your interpretation of Scripture or your rejection of science.
I’m glad it’s you and not me as I’ve given up on Genesis being history (most or all of it, but especially the beginning 11 chapters) and do not think I can return to that position.
