The so called "flaws" have been either misunderstandings, misinterpretations or outright fabrications. I see many young-earthers claim he believes in evolution. Obviously they have never read his books, books that provided evidence for design and against evolution long before it became popular. In fact, that's what he has always focused on. YECs picked the fight about age of Earth.

He opposes the idea that Adam and Eve were the first humans.

Blantantly untrue. In fact he cowrote an entire book to the contrary named Who was Adam?

He denies death entered with the Fall.

So do many esteemed theologians. "No Death Before Adam" is largely held in young-earth circles and is very poor theology. See Peril in Paradise: Theology, Science, and the Age of the Earth

He denies a universal Flood.

Blantantly unture. He believes in an universal, local flood, as do many theologians. Again, he addresses that in great detail in The Genesis Question

The only people compromising faith, science and followers are those who have continuously passed on the blantant untruths created by certain YECs. That's really sad.

universal, local flood,

This is a contradiction. A universal flood CAN'T be a local flood. The Biblical account of the Flood is all of the earth was covered with water. Hugh's position is NOT bibical!

Question: Was Adam an ancestor...in the direct line...of Jesus? In other words, was Adam the first of Jesus' ancestors?

"No Death Before Adam" is largely held in young-earth circles and is very poor theology

It is not poor theology...it is orthodox theology, held widely in evangelical circles. I will site only one Bible teacher, John MacArthur, who is a firm believer in "No Death Before Adam".
