Now that is, as you point out, not their position. Their young earth position is part-and-parcel with Orthodoxy for them. <BR/><BR/>Whether it is or it isn't, I think that waaaayyyyy toooooo many believers gloss over Genesis and Creation and the Fall. It was just myth (used in the derogatory form) and has an appropriate place besides "The Night before Christmas."<BR/><BR/>What you have done with your post, which I greatly appreciate, is to emphasize the need to more carefully study the Text itself, and its implications for Christian faith and practice. For that, I thank you.Williamfaithworshiplife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
