The Common Ancestor for the Australian Marsupial Dispersal?

Hey, @anon46279830, that’s a new idea I hadn’t noticed before. If one of the missions is:

to embrace the camp of Christians “…that believes there is too much evidence for Evolution in the fossil history to ignore…”, are you saying you have scripture that defends that mission?

Well, what scripture is that? But I think I must be misinterpreting what you said above. Please explain and I will listen.

@anon46279830 has been pretty clear about this.

1. He thinks the Scriptural case for a genealogical Adam is strong.

2. He is unconvinced by unguided evolution and common descent.

3. He still is not opposed to evolution, and is not going to invest time arguing against it.

Totally reasonable.

For these reasons he is on board with what we are doing here, and occasionally asks questions about evolutionary science.

You have more in common than you think. Give him time to figure things out for himself, and know he still might disagree at the end of the day. Having OECs around is a good thing as it build a bridge to the RTB crowd too.
