Progressive creationist anthropology: many reasons NOT to believe
A review of Who was Adam? by Fazale Rana with Hugh Ross
Although mostly written by Fazale Rana, the book is said to equally represent the work of Hugh Ross. Their salvos against biblical creationists are mostly confined to the earlier chapters of the book, with the first shot being to blame us for the biblical perspective on human origins not being at the high table of scientific debate (p. 12).
Here they characterize the approach taken by creationists as largely attacking human evolutionary models, but seldom offering a viable theory of their own (p. 12). They also portray creationists as often attacking the integrity of evolutionary biologists and anthropologists with accusations of deception and conspiracy theories (p. 12). After this chastisement of creationists the authors claim the moral high ground by stating, Personal attacks destroy the possibility for dialogue. They erect barriers (p. 12). Pleading for peace while shooting rockets is unfortunately par for the course with these writers.

Ping!
I met Hugh Ross once and ate a meal in a company cafe with about 20 other people. My recollections from sitting next to him and listening to him talk, is that his bitterness to young earth creationists was scary.
Probably all the while decrying the supposed “bitterness” of YECers...LOL
I was shocked!!!
Thanks for the ping!
