While I don't agree with Glenn Morton, I've always found him very interesting and honest. I thought I'd give you one way an unusual Christian geologist handles the origin of man:
quote:
The only way to fit the scriptural account with the scientific observations is to have Adam and Eve be Homo habilis or Australopithecus.
That's at
http://home.entouch.net/dmd/synop.htm, and he has a whole page on human evolution and Genesis. He's very intent on Genesis being literal, but he's also trying to be honest about scientific discoveries, so his theories are quite entertaining! I've emailed him a few times, and I like him, though I find all his attempts to save a literal Genesis extreme.
