Are you sure at Southwestern Baptist Theological the professors were believers in theistic evolution and not old earth creation? I’ve seen the two beliefs confused with each other, especially by young earth creationists. The first believes God is impersonal, very much like deism. The latter believes God is very much involved with His creation, breathed life into Adam making him a special creation, simply had a lot of time to do all of the creation in the Genesis account, and the Hebrew word “yom” that’s translated to “day” in Genesis 1 has three literal meanings: one of which is an “era of unspecified length”. So you can be an “old earther” while believing the Bible is inerrant and meant to be read literally (except for where the teachers in the Bible itself say things are meant to be allegorical).
These professors believe that everything sprang from evolutionary processes. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
Genesis 1 says: “...and evening and morning were the first day.”
“...and evening and morning were the second day.”
“...and evening and morning were the third day.”
“...and evening and morning were the fourth day.”
“...and evening and morning were the fifth day.”
“...and evening and morning were the sixth day.”
Obviously not eons of time icluded there.
