Concordism and Genesis 1-2

First of all, I’d like to thank @Ronald_Cram, @deuteroKJ, and @Jordan for engaging in a prolonged, insightful, and thoughtful exchange on a complex and contentious topic. This is really the best of what the forum is supposed to offer. Keep it up.

Just a couple thoughts…

As a person who does probability analysis for a living, it does not appear feasible to do so here.

@Ronald_Cram you seem to be taking a dual author view of scripture.

Some of the pushback you are facing is that most current scholars do not take that view. It is not uncommon outside of academia (e.g. @anon46279830 takes a similar tact), but right now authorial intent is ascendant.

This list of links is helpful in unpacking some of the differences between @Ronald_Cram and @deuteroKJ, and the arguments/history of why authorial intent is currently the dominant way of seeing this in academia. I’d encourage everyone to take a look at them.
