Church (From My Twitter Fee

The Pain of Reinterpreting Scripture
Byhenry July 11, 2008
In several recent posts I’ve been referring to the relationship between scripture and evolution, and particularly how I moved from young earth creationism toward theistic evolution not because I studied evolution and became convinced, but because I studied Genesis and became convinced it was not narrative history.

Kudos to Telic Thoughts
