"Unless one understands we live in a fallen creation, one cannot properly understand the world at all...with its mixture of very bad and very good."


I think that Science and Christianity clash over this concept. Science (evolution) believes that the species are ever improving -- Christians believe that all creation is fallen and continues to deteriorate.

You're probably right...for the consistent. However there are theistic evolutionists who see evolution as the method God used to create the world--and since Adam and Eve, the corruption of sin has come, contradicting evolution, at least in the moral sphere.

I believe it is very difficult to be any kind of consistently orthodox Christian without a belief in Adam and Eve. Without a literal "old Adam" who fell the "new Adam" of Jesus Christ who redeems makes little sense--and religion becomes, as it appears to be for Schori, do-goodism with costumes and ceremonies.
