If he doesn’t know that about you or @Mercer , it simply means he can’t remember what he’s read on the forum. I would guess that he has been told this many times but here are the most recent:
@Mercer
If you can imagine the most rare and exotic example of Christian it seems there is always at least one man or woman, living or dead, who happily embrace said Christianity (“rare and exotic”).
Who could have imagined Jehovah’s Witnesses somewhat chilling belief that after 144,000 transmigrate to the bosom of the Father, all the rest of humanity is obliterated.
Or anticipate the Mormon theology describing virtually all humanity going to 1 of 3 (or more?) different levels of Heaven… and that the more descendants a man has (from multiple wives), the more spiritual authority a man earns - - until the man earns his own planet!
Why do I linger on the magnificent diversity which Christianity can produce?
Because for every Christian like you (“a Christian who views A&E as mythological” and has no interest in "promot[ing] [GAE]), it is quite likely that there is also a Christian like you - - who devotes much of his or her energy to promote GAE!
BioLogos has, or had?, a large numb…
For me (as a Christian who is agnostic on the question of whether a real Adam and Eve existed), I see GAE as a way to bridge the divide between TE/CASEs like myself and YECs. It shows them that a literal reading of Genesis is still consistent with science.
