@adamjedgar Have I ever said this to you? When you’re not waging war on evolution and deep geological time, but when your focus is on Christ and the Gospel, some of the other things you post are pure gold.
I think that if there’s one mistake that those of us on the evolutionary creation/theistic evolution end of the spectrum are particularly at risk of making (and certainly I speak for myself here), it is taking offence at bad arguments or bad attitudes to science in the Church. For some of us, such bad attitudes have resulted in adverse consequences of varying degrees of seriousness (which is why we can come across as particularly snarky or even confrontational at times), but in recent weeks and months I’ve come to the conclusion that I just need to forgive those Christians who have thrown me off track in the past in that respect.
