on Adam and Eve

Francis Schaeffer wrote a book titled "Genesis in Space and Time". I am presently finding it a compelling argument bolstering my belief in a thought that our modern (and especially post-modern) minds often judge to be a stretch.


Adam and Eve, real people in real space & time.

It is actually a much more plausible explanation than whatever else is proposed, but our cultural aversion to the meta-narrative (one overarching story that contains and explains the entirety of our universe and existence) leaves me skittish about committing to the Biblical story (not publicly of course, only in the hidden thoughts of my early morning waking moments). Nonetheless, I am truly being strengthened in my inner man by pondering the text of Genesis 1-11 through the eyes of a wise and bold man of God. May the Gospel of God bring about the obedience of faith which Paul speaks of in the first verses of his letter to the Romans.
