As a Christian (preacher’s son) and a conservative I have no problem with Evolution per say, I would only ad the caveat that I believe in directed evolution.
Anyone attempting to read Genesis as a literal word for word exact transpiring of events must some how reconcile Revelations as also being literal when clearly it uses alliteration to explain future events.
I can not understand why some Christians seem to understand parables and mans trouble interpreting witnessed events of God’s awesome power and yet somehow believe that Genesis HAS to be taken as the literal truth and not mans understanding of what God told him, told in a way that a man at that time period could and would understand.
Do we as Christians interpret theses passages as the literal truth or only one mans ability to attempt to describe what God had revealed to him:
II Kings 2:11 “And it came to pass, as they still went on talked, that, behold, there appeared a CHARIOT OF FIRE, and HORSES OF FIRE, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
Ezekiel 1:19 “And when the living creatures went, the
wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.”.
The precise reason the 15th and 16th century RCC was so against having Bibles published in the vernacular.
