Since when is Walter Kasier, president of Gordan Conwell a "pop" apologist? He's a world class Hebrew scholar at a world class conservative theological seminary.
In fact most of these people are the some of the most respected in their field. Norm Geisler, J.P. Moreland, pop apologists? Give me a break.
And to say that the day age is new is absurd when as far back as Augustine they were talking about it!
I don't believe I said that they were all "Pop" theologians, I merely stated that there were a lot of what could be called "pop" thelogicans on that list. There is not a single Hebrew scholar from a world class university on that list who refutes Dr. Barr.

I did not say they were all pop scholars but none of them refutes Barr's assertion regarding the intent of the author of Genesis and none of them are professors of Hebrew at world class UNIVERSITIES.
You keep bringing up Augustine as if he was a proponent of the theory of evolution. In his treatise on The City of God, chapter 11, he argues that everything that God did in creation he did outside of time and that time did not even begin until after the creation was complete. His argument was that it detracted from the glory of God to suggest that it would have taken God any time at all to complete the creation, not that it took him longer than Moses suggested.
So quit using Augustine to foster your argument for evolutionary theology. He would have laughed at the suggestion.
