Thanks for the info SteamDoc.
Although I'm not sure what is meant by apologetics. If that is to infer that
we must apologize to the science community for Judeo-Christian errors of
interpretation, I would not say that. If that were the case, I would have
science apologize for the many years of made up and misconstrued theories.
The NT says that a time will come when a new church is started. Some
denominations claim to be that. Some say it is the Christian establishment.
I believe it is yet to come. Not just when Jesus returns but before that. It
will come when a child no longer goes to school to hear a different idea of
nature than what he/she learns in church and at home.
After all it is not the means of salvation that is important, it is the
salvation itself. How or why we believe in Christ is not greater than the
fact that we believe in him.

[OFF-LIST NOTE]
Since you are interested in science and Christian apologetics, you might
find useful my essay "Science and Christian apologetics" on the Web:
http://members.aol.com/steamdoc/writings/apologetics.html
For "a comfortable understanding of Genesis and how it relates to science" I
would suggest one of two books:
"The Galileo Connection" by Charles Hummell
"The Fourth Day" by Howard Van Till
My reviews of both of these can be found under:

Reading a good book is usually more enlightening than trying to separate the
wheat from the chaff on an Internet list like this.
Blessings,
Allan
