CA, I have a different take then you do so sorry that I can't answer your question that you pose. My question goes back to how can he believe that God can raise his Son from the dead but that God couldn't have possibly caused a worldwide flood???
I guess he thinks that it was, and still is, possible for God to do so --- just that as a matter of fact he didn't.
I could give you my opinion, and its the opinion of allot of YEC writers as to why a Hugh Ross believes in OEC and not a literal 6 day creationism, and then as to why he doesn't believe in evolution.
It puzzles me too. Why would anyone want to deny evolution except to defend Biblical literalism?
