2.Evolution pushes the bible on a slippery slope of allegoricalism and metaphors that will somewhat weaken the truth of some of the biblical passages.

3.Evolution pushes the bible more to allegories and sybolism but it does not undermine the truth of the bible whatsoever.

4.(macro)Evolution is at least somewhat true, but also the process is subsidized by God to direct it in a more literal biblical fashion. So they are both compatiple in this sense.

Evolution and the bible.

Evolution here means common decent driven by natural selection and genetic drift.

Choose two. if you feel strongly about one then choose the repeat to duoble the vote. If you are split on two positions then choose one of both.

Not many replies so far. Well those of you who are not fans of biologos I hope it becomes the stuff of the future. No more modern geocentricism.

I don't know if I really like my vote but I guess it is the most suitable, If evolution is true it just means our interpretation of the Bible was incorrect and has no effect on God's existence whatsoever or the in-errancy of the Bible. The fault would be human interpretation not Biblical.
1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.
