‘cornered’?—a

Many highly respected Christian leaders believe one can accommodate the claims of science (viz. millions of years of evolutionary history), into the account of Genesis. Such beliefs are based on the uncharacteristic failure of these leaders to apply sound exegesis to the record of creation that God gave to us. Such leaders also appeal to human authority (the majority of evangelical Hebrew experts) to support their view. However, such authorities have also, for the most part, accepted the interpretations of science over the Bible, and are guilty of eisegesis, when it comes to the historical record in Genesis, as can be seen from their writings. Contrary to the views expressed by such compromising Christian leaders, this avenue of thinking does lead to the rejection of biblical authority and thus the truth of the gospel. Sometimes, one can only shake one’s head and sigh about the many great Christian scholars and theologians who are so ‘spot on ’ in regard to their approach to the Bible—but only from Genesis 12 onwards
