Re: [asa] Saving Darwin: What theological changes are required?

I am now at my limit for posts today (4), so this will have to be my final
one today. What a great discussion this is, however. My thanks to Karl for
sticking around!

Concerning the issue of inerrancy, which has come up several times already,
let me point out that my colleague Robin Collins (whom I have already
invoked in another context) has a very thoughtful essay on "Evolution and
Original Sin," in Keith Miller's volume, "Perspectives on an Evolving
Creation." He offers there the best overall commentary on the issue of
Paul, Adam, and inerrancy that I have seen. It's lengthy and carefully
worded, such that I won't attempt a summary here in my own words. The
bottom line is that Robin follows NT scholar Jimmy Dunn who, in his
commentary on Romans 1-8, holds that "an act in mythic history can be
parallel to an act in living history without the point of comparison being
lost." Robin applies this to the second Adam.

That is just one of many interesting claims. I recommend this essay to
all.
