I was just wondering what people's experience was on this topic.
It seems that the debate is avoided in most churches i have been to, even though the implications of what we believe in this area are far reaching. So here are some questions for discussion:
1. Have you ever experienced a sermon that mentions the debate, or preferably a whole sermon on the topic?
Phat writes:
No. I have heard some of Ken Hams ramblings on the topic, but don't respect him or his organization, since to me they are in it for the money. Besides...why would there be such a rift in science? Is one side deluded, and if so, why?
2. Do you know what the leadership of your local/denominational church believes on this issue?
Phat writes:
Most Protestant fundamentalists and charismatics stubbornly cling to Biblical Innerrency, though the implications of such a belief are never carried out to a final conclusion.
3. Is it ever discussed outside of sermons?
Phat writes:
Of course, though overall the topic does not interest me much.
4. In fact is there any emphasis put on apologetics at all?
Phat writes:
Apologetics is an ongoing debate, yet neither side as either proved nor disproved the Bible as a whole. Perhaps folks should begin to think about re-framing the questions rather than finding answers that fit their world views.
