Ken Keathley: Notes from Dabar and a Baptist's Hope

[swamidass (S. Joshua Swamidass)]

@kkeathley

My impression of OEC proponents such as Hugh Ross and Fuz Rana is that, operating from a high view of Scripture, they sincerely desire to go where the evidence takes them. This is one reason why they put such strong emphasis on providing a testable model. I know they desire engagement, with respectful give and take.

I agree. That was very clear when I met with Fuz at Dabar. I’m looking forward to helping them assess their model:

Assessing the Ross-Rana Model

I hope we can be a good conversation partner for them, whatever they end up believing about evolution. Though, I do hope they adopt the Genealogical Adam as one option in their tent.

@kkeathley

Taking the long view, we have every reason to be hopeful.

You know more of theology than most of us here. Certainly more than me. How long do you think this specific conversation regarding genealogical ancestry will take to shake out? Five to ten years? Or something much longer?
