Fred finally comments on the toledoth (the 11 quotes of “these are the generations”): Seeing that Genesis 1 provides the major overview of God’s divine work of creation from start to finish, I wouldn’t expect there to be a toledoth heading; it’s unnecessary.

As many of you have read, Fred Butler and I have been discussing Genesis 1 and theistic evolution (see “Apologetics and the Age of the Earth“). It’s been a very enjoyable and helpful dialog for myself and (so I hear) for others. Fred believes it is essentially impossible to hold to old-earth creationism and the [...]

I’ve been dialoging with a friend (he said to go ahead and provide his blog link here) with regards to the age of the earth, views of Genesis, etc., and I think it might help others to read some of it: “- Yeah some of that can get annoying. I am particularly persuaded by the [...]

Jack Collins, a professor from Covenant Theological Seminary, did an excellent job developing a balanced and theologically sound view of the Genesis debate. He also pointed out some interesting insight regarding inter-testamental views regarding the historicity of Adam and Eve (something people [...]
