Evangelicals Question The Existence Of Adam And Eve

Postby Brian Jordan » Mon Aug 15, 2011 10:41 am

But now some conservative scholars are saying publicly that they can no longer believe the Genesis account. Asked how likely it is that we all descended from Adam and Eve, Dennis Venema, a biologist at Trinity Western University, replies: "That would be against all the genomic evidence that we've assembled over the last 20 years, so not likely at all."
http://www.npr.org/2011/08/09/138957812/evangelicals-question-the-existence-of-adam-and-eve?ft=1&f=1016 Hmm. if American Evangelicals don't believe in Adam and Eve, where does that put Scottish "non religious" IDProponentsists who do?
(Maybe this ought to be in News or Scripture, but posts there don't seem to get much of an airing.)

It is a small proportion of American evangelcials such as Venema, Enns, Murphy, Delamoraux ? and some others

A fair number of British ones have a similar view.

Others like Alexander hold onto a historical Adam and Eve - just adn get pilloried

Sorry Peter - it looked familiar but I couldn't see anything previous.
