“I don’t ascribe to their seemingly fundamentalist interpretations and opinions, but as a fellow Christian I am always able to find thought provoking viewpoints in their podcast and I do believe they are trying to be good followers of Christ. They seem like a nice enough couple and family too. That being said, this week revealing they are Bible literalists (when mind you the Lord Himself taught and spoke in parables) saying the earth was created in 7 literal days when time quantification(ie days weeks months years) itself is a construct of man, is surprisingly close minded. Icing on the cake was claiming they above all scientists somehow know the earth is only 700 some thousand years old??? Odd because I have agates and fossilized palm wood in my possession that are older than that. Sadly these types of opinions broadcast on such a broad platform, really place people at odds with science and worshipping Jesus. This is one main reason young people(under 40) have left the church in droves. Many people feel ALL Christians hold the beliefs these two do and I assure you they do not. I wish more people knew that. I and many see science as a gift from God used to reveal and help us understand the wonderful world he created. It’s nothing to feel threatened or attacked by.”
