Q

Write a letter to a young earth creationist and use Galileo’s views

A
  • Accept biological evolution and Christian faith
  • Common hermeneutics lead to strict and literal interpretation of scientific and historical fact → scientific and historical concordism
  • If you use strict interpretation you have to accept 3 tierd universe = is not true
  • If YEC predictions true = bones of every organism at bottom of fossil record in same strata = not true
  • Bible not invalid but just not book of science
  • God accommodated and allowed ancient authors to use science of the day to deliver spiritual message
  • Incidental ancient science is a vessel that helps deliver more important spiritual trith
  • Ex. Gen 1-3 God created not how he created
  • Turn to Galileo → accepts book of Gods word and book of Gods works that enrich and enhance each other
  • Science is a gift from God to allow us to interpret scripture
  • Galileo → Intelligent designer, earth was created by a creator whose divine action is through sustained and ordained natural processes
  • Science offers physical facts to the metaphysical realm
  • Common hermeneutics → academic hermeneutics
  • Reject conflation of biological evolution and a secular world view
  • Reject scientific concordism of scripture

Q

Defend YOUR interpretation of the biblical flood in Gen 6-9

A
  • Reject scientific and historical concordism made by common hermeneutics
  • Local and not global = not literal b/c science of the day
  • Fossil records = no worldwide flood b/c of geomorphology and stratigraphy
  • They categorized different strata and identified the different fossils in each stratum
  • Impossible for 1 year global flood to lay down all the layers of crust of the earth
  • Flood scholarship ask questions: landing site of the ark, size of the ark, extent of the flood, and redistribution of animals
20
Q

State YOUR view on whether or not Gen 6-9 is made up of different sources

A
  • Yes redactor put together 2 accounts of P and J author to form Gen 6-9
  • Oral tradition → ancient historiography
  • History viewed from ancient phenomenological perspective
21
Q

Defend YOUR view on whether or not Gen 6-9 is made up of different source

A
  • Different linguistic features P vs. J
  • Same linguistic features P (creation + flood) and J (creation + flood)
  • P and J make sense on their own but when combined make no sense in sequence of events + chronology
  • Flood stories → oral tradition → ancient historiography view from an ancient phenomological perspective = room for interpretation
  • Many sources contributed
22
Q

A
  • Noah not real
  • Noah example of righteous man
  • Noah obeyed God
  • Noah was saved by God

A
  • Mesopotamian flood accounts real and interpreted using pagan theology
  • Hebrews recycled and reinterpreted hero to noah to deliver spiritual truth
  • Noah is a typological of a righteous man who obeyed God
  • Holy spirit accommodated and allowed this so that the truth of the message is delivered
  • Great flood motif rooted in ancient historiography based on ancient phenomological perspective due to history of the day
  • Noah used as incidental vessel to deliver more important spiritual truth
24
Q

Write a letter to Richard Dawkins regarding his well-known statement

A
  • Conflation of atheism and Darwin’s beliefs
  • Believed in impersonal God who created the universe
  • Believed in ID explained through nature to design argument → psalm 19 factor revealed by natural revelation
  • Uncritically accepted Paley’s premises of nature → intelligent design
  • Couldn’t separate ID from perfect adaptation and beneficence → made him struggle
  • B/c he lacked academic categories = conflation
  • Ex. Rejection of miracles
  • Says if cosmological interventionism in origins and operations do not exist → personal interventionism does not exist = lacked divine action categories
  • He was a progressive creationist = believed God created living organism through evolution
  • Embryological-evolution analogy = logic for rejecting god of gaps and accepting god who creates using natural processes → evolution and creation coexist
  • 1st evolutionary psychologist who believed in God = God hardwiring in humans is behind natural revelation
  • Frees him from false dichotomy of choosing between God and evolutionary psychology
  • Rejects dysteleology → evolution is not atheistic b/c God part of his science
25
Q

List YOUR foundational principles for interpreting Gen 1-11

A
  • Meant to deliver spiritual truths through allegories + recycling + reinterpretation of motifs in history
  • Reject historical and scientific concordism
  • Ancient accounts were incidental but inspired by HS to reveal message of faith
  • Authors limited by intellectual tool box + wrote from ancient phenomenological perspective confines them to science/history of the day
  • Ancient language is a problem b/c social context and meaning of words
26
Q

Defend YOUR foundational principles for interpreting Gen 1-11

A
  • Understand properly without strict interpretation
  • Strict interpretation convolutes inerrant spiritual message b/c science in bible and modern science don’t add up
  • Understand allegory or story like format = separation of scientific and historical fact
  • Interpret what author was trying to convey by looking from their perspective and intellectual tools available
  • Proper translation of words
27
Q

State YOUR interpretation of the Creation Week in Gen 1

A
  • Yes major motifs = 6 literal days
28
Q

Defend YOUR interpretation of the Creation Week in Gen 1

A
  • Major motif = de novo creation → creation quick and complete
  • Gen 1 uses numbers- days end with “there was evening & there was morning…”
  • So days mean 24 hours not 100s millions of years
  • OT when day was with a # means 24 hour day
  • Affirms one God who is the creator of universe
29
Q

State YOUR interpretation of the Creation and Fall of Adam & Eve in Gen 2 & 3

  • Idk if adam and eve sin → cosmic fall
  • We are sinful
  • Big problem is sin against God
30
Q

Defend YOUR interpretation of the Creation and Fall of Adam & Eve in Gen 2 & 3

A
  • Adam + Eve are real created quick and complete = major motif de novo creation
  • Creation order of P and J → God created humanity to be relational with him and accountable by setting limits.
  • Conflict between creation events in Gen 1 and Gen 2 = some did not happen
  • Redactor takes J account
  • J account casts the story & archetype within the framework of ancient cosmogony + ancient historiography and historicizes them
  • Suffering + death entered world when God judges adam and eve sin
  • If cosmic fall historical → suffering + death appear after humans in fossil record
  • Cosmic fall maybe means spiritual death not physical
31

State YOUR interpretation of the Genealogies in Gen 4, 5, 10 & 11 and the Table of Nations in Gen 10

A
  • Reject genealogy as real historical fact
  • Oral tradition not reliable
  • Use of retrojection of de novo creation
32
Q

Defend YOUR interpretation of the Genealogies in Gen 4, 5, 10 & 11 and the Table of Nations in Gen 10

A
  • Tribal formation of Cain = he married his sister
  • Origin of cultural advances = one generation from one family = ancient de novo type thinking
  • Noahs sons→ archaeology shows no evidence to support that and instead shows that civilizations living continuously throughout the world
  • Archaeological and historical records show that languages evolved over time → semitic cognates (related languages)
  • Origin of these genealogies came from retrojecting the observed behaviour that humans immutable → de novo type thinking
  • Oral traditions communities remember important people but human memory limited
  • Reject historical concordism
33
Q

State YOUR view of origins

A
  • Creation + evolution

- God created through natural processes

34
Q

Defend YOUR view of origins

A
  • Evolution undeniable b/c evidence aka. Flagellum
  • Science helps arguing creation aka. Anthropic principle
  • Anthropic principle = physical laws of the universe are finely tuned and any changes to them would not allow evolution

  • God acts through cosmological providentalism → create through natural processes
  • God created the universe but continues to work through evolution
35
Q

State YOUR view of human origins

  • Idk if evolutionary monogenism, punctiliar polygenism, or gradual polygenism
  • Yes God made humanity in his image through ordained, sustained, and intelligently designed processes
  • No monkeys
36
Q

Defend YOUR view of human origins

A
  • No monkeys because of the many transitional fossils between LCAP and humans not enough
  • Cant agree with any other theory
  • Evolutionary monogenism and punctiliar polygenism = scientific concorsidm
  • Gradual polygenism rejects scientific concordism
  • Gradual polygenism calls to question when or how spiritual realities appear
  • Maybe I’m like Darwin self-referential incoherence that gives me peace to accept spiritual truths of bible without historical or scientific fact & not knowing why
37
Q

State YOUR view of the Cosmic Fall

A
  • Cosmic fall didn’t happen = not historical fact b/c fossil records
  • Ancient cosmogony and ancient historiography
38
Q

Defend YOUR view of the Cosmic Fall

A
  • If cosmic fall historical → suffering + death before humans in fossil record
  • But suffering + death been in the world millions of years before humans
  • Doesn’t take away from spiritual truth

  • Sin does not cause suffering
39
Q

State YOUR view of the Doctrine of Original Sin

A
  • No doctrine of original sin
  • Makes assumptions of historical fact
  • Historical and scientific concordism of the bible
40
Q

Defend YOUR view of the Doctrine of Original Sin

A
  • Doctrine of original sin → Adam was first to commit sin + sin transferred to all humans
  • If you take this as history you’re accepting bible ancient biology → science/history concordism
  • If you say yes to the genealogy (monogenism) you’re inflating ancient science + modern science
  • If you say yes to cosmic fall does not align with fossil record
41
Q

State YOUR view on whether or not Adam was a real person in history

A
  • Not sure but probably not historical b/c of views of cosmic fall and original sin
42
Q

Defend YOUR view on whether or not Adam was a real person in history

A
  • Reject Adam as history conflict with cosmic fall and original sin is gone
  • Supports fossil record evidence b/c no one man who connects origin of death
  • Explains ancient de novo thinking → adam
  • Retojection of ancient biology that arose from the observation that humans are immutable
  • But if Adam isn’t real then gradual polygenism is right
  • Good b/c no scientific concordism but when or how spiritual realities appear
43
Q

State YOUR view on the problem of evil

A
  • Theodicy + God uses evil to serve greater purpose in the world
  • Difference in moral and natural evil
  • Natural evil assumes moral responsibility and free will
  • Shift natural evil → horrid natural realities that get rid of moral element and open up possibility of gods very good creation
  • Soul making universe principle = to know god and love god
  • True freedom to build relationship with god is in a religiously ambiguous world
44
Q

Defend YOUR view on the problem of evil

A
  • Evil is a problem → turn to theodicy to justify
  • God uses evil to serve a purpose
  • Ex. John 9:1-3 jesus explains evil can show the work of god
  • Showing that evil has a purpose and can be used for eternal salvation
  • Natural evil → horrid natural realities to remove moral element from nature
  • Humans commit moral evil
  • God cant interfere with free will so instead he makes it serve a purpose
  • Create relationship with god that’s free world needs to be no religion
  • To choose to know and love god we need to know and experience what lacking love it → moral evil
45
Q

Post-Scriptum

A

Theodicean juxtaposition- ID overpower evil
