perhaps he was one of those mentioned by musket.....Christian but don't believe it !...according to secular society survey.
perhaps , ed, I should have qualified....what [ I ] see clearly taught in scripture. in the case of gen 1, even liberal Hebrew scholars are in no doubt that it teaches creation in 6 days. other texts can also be given that corroborate that, eg exodus 20 v 11.
it was only as Darwin gained acceptance that some tried to reinterpret what had formerly been a plain reading.
it is true that some other teachings may be open to interpretation.

bill- whether I use "admitted" or "said" does not alter what he said , and my conclusion that he was aware, and stated, that transitionals were missing, and that he and eldridge developed the jerky idea to account for that lack of evidence. so for they, and you the absence of evidence becomes the evidence for the theory.
but I do note that you add the assertion that all the disciplines connect to support the theory. but apart from this being, again, an appeal to authority and numbers, have you never considered that it might be the dogma holy cow that pulls interpretations of the various branches into its compass ,while not considering sufficiently the counter evidences and interpretations.
some evolutionists, as for instance the Altenburg 16, have recognized the problems, but being true believers are looking for another mechanism.
which "data" are you asking me to comment on.
radio carbon?.....found in things supposedly too old to be detectable!
neandertals.....give him a shave and a suit and you wouldn't notice him on a city street....just another human.
