There is a middle ground, inhabited by far more people than you will find on either end of that supposedly binary choice.

That would be logically impossible. There is either belief or unbelief. There is no middle ground.

But there is belief on both sides. Faith too.

If we are to consider the first chapter of Genesis to be the foundation of faith and anyone who differs from a literal day to be lost, then the opposite is also true. If the days are actually billions of years then those who believe in 24 hours are lost. In each case it is the word of God taken in truth or not.

Look at the multitude of Christian denominations with varying interpretations of God's Word. According to the mindset of creationism, all which do not have the actual Word of God, are lost. So all are lost since not one has it perfect. Even the most fundamental of the fundamentalists says "the Bible in the original text" since there is doubt about the accuracy of some words or entire sections of the Bibles we carry to church, especially older translations.

We are saved by faith and that faith is in the person of Jesus Christ and the good news of his life. Everything else is arguing about the number of angels who can fit on the head of a pin.

But that's not the choice you're presented with in this article, is it?
