Hi Mamuthus and thanks for the welcome:
Mamuthus:
Hi judge,
long time no see. Welcome back.
I am familiar (way too familiar) with Peter Borger's musings. However, I don't think he could be taken as having a mainstream position on mutation or genomics wrt creationism.
Judge:
Hmm...I tend to agree. My take is a little complicated , but I beleive that AIG (for example) go astray by seeing there being no death at al prior to the fall.
This view, that even animals were not
destined to die from the start may lead thinking that somehow things were
perfect before the fall.
This is not the view taken by Augustine who perhaps more than any other theologian tried to articulate the state of pre-fall man and in doing so infer how it differed from the other animals.
I tend to think that AIG would do well to incorporate Augustines understanding rather than the one they have at present.
