Educated evangelicals know that the creation stories were never intended to be history lessons or science reports, because the Bible is not a history or science book.

Not history lessons? Genesis says it is telling the story of earth up to the time of Joseph.

So, this "Baptist evangelical' pastor would have you believe that Genesis is not historical and not scientific but it is parabolic. In short, that means that creation isn't true, the fall isn't true, God's interventions in Genesis aren't true, and none of the details in Genesis are true.

He does say that evolution is true.

So, the creator who didn't create sent his son for a problem that didn't exist to a world that was humming along as happenstance came about.

Wonderful. /sarc
