A Great Article on the Implications of Theistic Evolution the Debate Surrounding Biologos
I'm not sure how many of you follow the very public debate between the "Christian Scientists" at Biologos (an evolutionary apologetics group) and Dr. Albert Mohler of Southern Seminary. Here's a link to Mohler's recent response to their last "broadside (http://www.albertmohler.com/2010/11/09/no-pass-from-theological-responsibility-the-biologos-conundrum/)." Central among the claims of the Biologos people is that they question the authority and sufficiency of Scripture in all matters of faith and practice. This leads them in interesting directions they state that Paul was mistaken about the historicity of Adam and Eve (cf Romans 5:12) and the implications of the Fall in God's garden. Implicitly they question the understanding of the Lord Jesus, who in Matthew 19 refers to Adam and Eve as historical people during His discussion of marriage and divorce.
Questioning both the inspiration of Scripture and the understanding of Jesus Christ of the historicity of Adam and Eve sooner or later brings into question all the doctrines of the Christian faith---since they are based on Scripture as well as the deity of Christ. When does such questioning and denial move us from the position of misinformed believers to the realm of unbelief? If Jesus and Paul were wrong about something as basic to the Christian faith as creation and our "first parents" what else were they wrong about? Moreover, who will judge them, the folks at Biologos? I'd hate to sit in judgment of an Apostle and the Son of God, God the Son.
