I wouldn’t rag like that, but I think the divinely bestowed grandeur of the story, that we know in both creation and redemption, is being missed.
“God created variations of animals” isn’t at ALL the same thing as “Animals evolved.” The most staunch old earth theologians (and certainly Dr. Ross) will point out painstakingly that you can’t get meaningful evolution with the earthly resources we know. If you were told to purchase Donald Trump’s empire, it would make no practical difference whether the only money you had was a penny, or whether it was a dime.
“The most staunch old earth theologians...”
Hold your horses there, there are a great many of the “guided evolution” variety that believe in whatever just-so stories the secular scientists pronounce, with their only caveat being that they think there was some invisible hand guiding the process.
