Awesome, so sorry for Rachel's family...

Thank you Dr. K for showimg us how to love others more than ourselves. I want to share this with friends on both sides of the political spectrum. This is my favorite video. Thank you for being the light.

Seems my expectations were too high for an Oxford research coordinator. Elegant gazelles? Cacophonous symphony? Future redemption? Disappointing

did not it say in the bible kill the fatted calf and slay the pascal lamb so how does that work then for animal care

I’m literally confused

Not all Christians believe that we were created in 7 days. I certainly don't believe we evolved from nothing. We did not evolve. It's not scientific. There is a creator, he didn't create us to 'evolve' into something else. He created the finished being whether it's human or animal.

Does anybody out there have any thoughts about the Jesus/Legion story where Jesus sent the demons into 2000ish pigs? I have never heard a good take on it (I have heard takes, but never a good one... Most come up empty and small). I mean, did Jesus not care about those sentient beings that have the ability to feel pain and suffer (an ability that God put in them!!!)? It is like God is saying, "OK, I created all 2000 of you with the ability to suffer and feel pain... Now I will inflict suffering on you by my actions! Bwahahahaha (evil laugh)!" It just doesn't come off as "Thy Kingdom come" or "wolf will live with the lamb" like. Something seems off. If you saw me drowning 2000 puppies (You can't say puppies are much different than pigs... Sorry, both are equally sentient!), I would have the law called on me and be put in prison, and rightly so! If I just stood by and allowed it, that would be seen as awful too. Again, rightly so!! So, is God love in a holistic sense or not? Does God love, REALLY LOVE, the planet, the nonhumans, and the humans, the whole of the Universe or not? Anything less than this does not seem like actual real feet on the ground good news to me at all. True love, that which God supposedly is, it seems to me, either includes it all or it fails. Love, in the deepest God-like sense, is holistic or it is not. God is love all the time in everything or he is not, and if he is not, is he actually love at all (I am talking in the deepest holistic sense here)?

I walked away from Christianity years ago because of all the ridiculous jumping through hoops people did with the Bible. I just couldn't be part of it anymore. I saw the nonsense clear as day. Recently, I have started to ask, is there a different way to approach all of this, a way that actually makes sense? I am now looking into what the Bible actually is, how it should be approached. I absolutely refuse to be part of any group that sees certain questions as "too sacred to be asked about".

Yes, the pattern of Garden & exile recapitulated by Israel over and over again.

Right on target

He really didn’t get into the Adam & Eve topic. So why is this video’s tittle about them, when Wright doesn’t really talk about them??🤦🏻😂

Jesus took Genesis literally, as did NT writers. So myth, hard pass.

Walton has some of the weakest and worst interpretations of Gen 1 today. They are not only dubious, but clearly debatable and lacking in any strong evidence for his odd presuppositions.

I greatly respect author Dr. Walton’s brilliance and creativity, but his proposed solution to the question of Origins, in "Lost World" only leads to a more serious set of problems. Still, this controversial book still has merit worth considering. Here me out; To be blunt, Walton's philosophical approach is a rather dangerous way of looking at the world. The history of the church includes well-meaning scholars who introduce ideas that undermine Biblical authority. This is the case with the gifted Old Testament professor Dr. John Walton. I was required to read this book for my Master's degree class. While his approach was indeed 'innovative' many of my fellow students were upset over his conclusions and complained to the Professor of the class that it seemed Walton was casting doubt on the infallible authority of Scripture. He introduced some bizarre terms like 'function over form' meaning creation was not so material as it was functional, which made absolutely no sense to most of the class members! For example, Dr. Walton asserted that ancient Near Eastern people focused more on how things functioned than their material nature. This meant that when Genesis 1 describes God forming land, sea, and animals over a series of days, it is not referring to material substances like dirt, water, and flesh appearing at specific times and places. Rather, it reveals the function of these things within the ‘cosmic temple’ of the world. This unusual construction enabled Dr. Walton to conclude that Genesis 1 “was never intended to be an account of material origins. Rather it was intended as an account of functional origins…. If the Bible does not offer an account of material origins, we are free to consider contemporary origins on their own merits, as long as God is seen as ultimately responsible.” Since then, Dr. Walton has continued to apply his ‘lost world’ methodology to other parts of the Bible. In additional books, he redefines the nature of Biblical revelation, that Adam and Eve were ‘archetypes’ instead of the first biological humans, and that the Genesis flood was an unidentifiable local event hyperbolically described as a global catastrophe. Dr. Walton reminds me of the third-century theologian Origen to whom he sometimes refers. Origen had one of the most creative theological minds in the early church. Nevertheless, his creativity led him to advocate views that were rejected as dangerous to Christian theology. These statements reveal a modern form of Gnosticism. By ‘Gnosticism,’ I’m referring to a philosophical view of the world that thinks special, hidden knowledge is necessary to understand what is true. For Dr. Walton, this knowledge is found in his ‘lost world’; it can only be recovered by scholars like himself. Such knowledge provides true insight into reality. According to Dr. Walton, Biblical truth is not dependent on real history. Instead, “truth is found in the narrator’s interpretation, which we accept by faith, regardless of whether or not we can reconstruct the events. His interests are not concentrated on human history but on God’s plans and purposes.” This is the goal of gnostic thinking: the separation of human history from God’s plans and purposes. Gnosticism consistently seeks to substitute Biblical history with its own history. In the early church, it looked to the religions of Persia and the philosophies of Greece to provide a spiritual history of the world. In the modern era, it looks to the religion of evolutionary science and the philosophies of the Enlightenment to create a materialist history of the universe. At its heart, however, Gnosticism is at war with God’s real actions in history. It is a heresy that stands in opposition to the Biblical view that teaches a direct connection between God’s original acts of creation and His absolute control of every event in time. Dr. Walton’s gnostic interpretation of the Bible inserts a gulf between events and the interpretation of those events. He must do this, however, to replace Biblical revelation concerning origins with the contemporary evolutionary history. Authority is therefore taken out of the event and placed only in the interpretation. If events such as the creation of animals or the flood actually happened as the narratives describe them, an evolutionary history of the world is impossible. Dr. Walton may deny this sort of historical substitution is his intent, but the structure of his books, the repetitive comments within them, and his professional associations tell a different story. He has published an extensive corpus of material that provides clear insight into his views. The result of accepting Dr. Walton’s gnostic worldview is the slow destruction of the historical foundation upon which Christianity is based. Although he believes he is providing a solution to the origins debate by disconnecting the Biblical text from real history, he is simply falling into the errors that have beset Gnosticism since the first century. Yet Dr. Walton is a professor at one of the most respected evangelical colleges in the world. Such a position gives him remarkable credibility to spread his “new analysis of the meaning of Genesis” to Christians everywhere. As a result, some will be swayed by his methods to adopt his modern form of Gnosticism. The solution is only found in the Christian worldview. To accept it, however, means the rejection of the neo-Kantian view of reality. It also means the rejection of Dr. Walton’s division of physical and metaphysical as he defines them. That is concerning indeed. I suspect something similar is going on with Dr. Walton. He clearly is a brilliant man and an exceptionally creative thinker. He has developed a unique interpretive structure to solve a particular problem, one he brings up over and over again in his books: the “perceived origins conflict between the Bible and science….” The goal of his work seems to be to solve that difficult problem. The problem becomes a tsunami in the making when one goes to metaphysical philosophy with a non-Christian worldview like that of Kant, that John Walton seems to be drifting to as we speak. "The Lost World" is a book one should read with an open Bible at hand. We live in a day and time when even the most celebrated intellectuals, especially among the academy, are not neccesarily the most beneficial for our faith and walk with God. Discernment has never been needed more than today. Make doubly sure you ask for it when you read "Lost World." You may discover, as many before you, that the only thing which is truly "lost" is the desperate attempt to spin biblical theology of the creation accounts in a way that depresses rather than impresses the average reader.

The existence of the fact that some representatives of science invent different "theories" that reject the word of God, clearly indicates only that for 2000 years there has been no Church of Christ and, accordingly, mankind does not see those miracles that should accompany the Church of Christ, as it is stated in the books of the New Testament. If in the name of Christ the dead were raised from the dead, the blind were given back their sight, the armless and legless were restored to their limbs, the terminally ill were freed from disease, I do not think that scientists would dare to persist in promoting various hypotheses denying the existence of God. The reason for the unbelief of most people is that they do not see the miracles that should accompany the Church of Christ as the books of the New Testament state, but they see in abundance the Churches that claim to be the Church of Christ but have no power to perform miracles, and this confuses many people. These 2000 years was a period of unbelief and despite the efforts of the defenders of the Christian faith they failed because they tried to prove the truth of Christ's teachings by human efforts. God will not prove the truth of Christ's teachings through philosophical speculation, the discovery of ancient manuscripts, or archaeological findings. Not at all. That is not God's handwriting. We know from the Bible how God works, God is a living God, and He will live testify to the truth of Christ's teachings. In the first century this is exactly what was happening. Miracles were the chief weapon of Christ's preachers to convince the skeptic of the truth of Christianity. The following fragment is a good example of this: *"And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus: Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.* *But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord."* (Acts 13:6-12). In our time we don't see this anymore, because the so-called Christians don't have such power, they are all fake. In the end I want to say that God will be revealed to mankind as He was revealed in the first century, through the Church of Christ. So that there will be no shadow of doubt about the truth of Christ's Teachings. And then all religions and false Christian churches will be disgraced before the risen Church of Christ, through which the same miracles will be performed that we read about in the books of the New Testament. Reading the books of the New Testament, we probably asked ourselves more than once: *"Why 2000 years we do not see those miracles that accompanied the Сhurch of Christ in the I century, as described in the New Testament?"* Why do the so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed and atheists boldly deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Сhurch of Christ has not existed for 2000 years? The Сhurch does not exist in the form in which it is presented in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other christian sects claiming to be the place of the Church, but they not have the only thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic of just the Сhurch of Christ -the reinforcement of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mark 16:15-20). Therefore, some researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and some of them are not opposed to declaring him a an ordinary philosopher, teacher. But even if Jesus were an ordinary philosopher, his disciples would be ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not dare to write about the miracles that not only Jesus, but also his disciples, could perform. If there were the Church in our time as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed, the sick are healed, where prophesied, and the dead are raised, no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then there would be the same controversy throughout the world as in the first century - Jesus the Son of God or the false prophet who seduces the world by miracles. As a result, we can say that the emergence and development of christian sects and atheism was the result of the fact that over the 2000 years the Сhurch of Christ did not exist.

NT is amazing

You cant re-write the Bible! What next, Are gays and trans people going to heaven?

Nope, we don't have to choose between science and faith.

Yeah, so my kid had an interesting question the other day. He asked me, 'how come the gov' t lied about the: virus, the origin, and gain of function? Was so that Collins could shut down the churches?' I said,' That's a fair question.' Maybe you have some thoughts on that? 🤔

😂

Thank you for this video♥️ I really think spreading the word about theistic evolution would change the trajectory of the Christian world in a positive way.

Thanks so much Biologos for bringing evolution and Christianity together. I feel like it should be an option in schools since a lot of kids are disillusioned by the idea that Science and religion don’t mix. Keep up the good work!!!

Oh, OK.... Here's one. What scientific research was the 6' rule based on that Collins used to close down churches?.... Tic-tock..... That's right, there was none. It was all a lie.... I'm sensing a pattern here.

Hmmmm.... Maybe integrate 'gain of function' research.... Oh, wait, that's right Collins lied about not doing that.

I support this program. However, this is something I wouldn't promote in public schools. For not everyone in public schools are Christians. What about religious schools? Well I believe science should be taught separately from faith. However, this course should be used as a side class or club that can teach Christians about the harmony between science and Scripture. This can also be used at home too for those taking public school classes who have issues with what they're learning.

This is a super great message. ❤

Great info, but I thought Xenu was the tool guy.

Might we then expect dear sir right reverend noble honorable doctor vicar NT Wright that Almighty God will take billions of years to create the new heaven and new earth? Asking for a friend.

Question Bishop Wright, did you eat your breakfast today? Wright’s answer We should decouple the concept of material or physical nourishment from functional sustenance. While a traditional English breakfast is traditionally a hearty meal, the more meaningful concept is the feeling of feeling full with the conference that I can answer the question with wit, wisdom and empathy for those around us who are struggling to find meaning in the term breakfast, let alone partake in the ritual that breaks a fast, if you know what I mean.

Good work guys!

Garbage and pathetic

Evolutionary creation is half Christian

NT Wright is the one that also believes in evolution?

You people are doing great work. You have helped me reconcile science and faith.

Not going to be sung in heaven.

God wants us to ponder and think, but, God is not the author of confusion, but, peace on the Earth, and we live by Faith. 2 Corinthians 5:7 New International Version 7 For we live by faith, not by sight. 1 Corinthians 14:33 King James Version 33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Royal priesthood, holy Nation. Image bearer of The Triune God of the BIBLE. AMEN

I wrote ten books on the fractal structure of the Bible. My research is revolutionary in Bible interpretation history.

Heartwarming.

Lighten up! The Bible isn't really true. It's like Beethoven or Shakespeare! Lighten up! English people don't even think about whether the Bible is, you know, true truth. That's why the church in England is so strong and healthy! We don't worry about stuff like that.

Awesome!!!!!

Praise God for Biologos !

Are the Genesis 1 days real history? Genesis is, without any doubt whatsoever, most definitely written as historical narrative. Hebrew uses special grammatical forms for recording history, and Genesis 1-11 uses those. It has the same structure as Genesis 12 onwards and most of Exodus, Joshua, Judges, etc., which no one claims is ‘poetry’ or not meant to be taken as history. Genesis is not poetry or allegory. Genesis is peppered with ‘And … and … and … ’ which characterises historical writing (this is technically called the ‘vav-ו, often rendered as waw-consecutive’). The Hebrew verb forms of Genesis 1 have a particular feature that fits exactly what the Hebrews used for recording history or a series of past events. That is, only the first verb in a sequence of events is perfect (qatal), while the verbs that continue the narrative are imperfects (vayyiqtols).4 In Genesis 1, the first verb, bara (create), is perfect, while the subsequent verbs are imperfect.5 A proper translation in English recognises this Hebrew form and translates all the verbs as perfect (or past) tense. psalms 78:9-14 The Psalms are poetic, but nevertheless often refer to real (historical) events Genesis 1-11 also has several other hallmarks of historical narrative, such as ‘accusative particles’ that mark the objects of verbs. These are not translated into English (e.g. Hebrew ‘et’ in Genesis 1:1). Terms are often carefully defined. Also, parallelisms, a feature of Hebrew poetry (e.g. in many Psalms), are almost absent in Genesis.6 The rare pieces of poetry (e.g. Genesis 1:27 and 2:23) comment on real events anyway, as do many of the Psalms (e.g. Psalm 78). But if Genesis were really poetic, the whole book would look like these rare verses and it doesn’t.

organized religion is a big square fitting into a small round hole. you have to use your imagination to make it work. atheism poses less mental stress to those try to live a moral life.

You should do an episode on the shocking increase of myocarditis in the young.

Great talk David is so brave in his talks. He gives you so much to think about and feel in your brain.😊 13:39

This is pure Theological thought of men destitute of the Holy Spirit. Philosophy of men. Can you imagine sharing this with the Masai or Turkana people of Kenya? I have taught the Bible over 40 years and being Born Again and led into scripture by the Holy Spirit, and I have absolutely no idea what this man is saying. He’s a TEXT ANALYST? Say what? Lost soul Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
