WOTM: In Quest of the Historical Adam, Part I
This is part I of our look at William Lane Craig's new book, "In Quest of the Historical Adam: A Biblical and Scientific Exploration."
In this video, I present the big ideas Craig is putting forth — claiming that the first 11 chapters of Genesis should be seen as something called "Mythohistory" or "Protohistory," and shouldn't be taken "literalistically."
And yet, Bill still wants to hold on to the idea of a literal, historical Adam and Eve, whom he now suggests lived 750,000-1m years ago — Homo Heidelbergensis. The whole thing will have your head spinning. But wondrously so, as Bill is undercutting the entirety of his Christian theology. We get into that in part two.
Thanks again, gang! It think Bill's book is a concession of sorts. It says that people like us, and shows like mine, Paulogia's, Holy Kool Aid's, Aron Ra's, etc... are having an impact. Christians can't ignore the problems we continue to raise. And you're a big part of that!!!
Part II is coming up. And then, I have a special Xmas treat for you, based on Bill's new book. I think you'll like it. B

Poor Billy: he has never learned that, when you cherry pick, you end up in the pits. He might as well publish a book titled "In Quest of the Historical Manco Cápac and Mama Ocllo." So tell us, Billy: did Adam have a navel?
Again, damn these are good!👍🥰😍✌
You’re my new best friend!
Using the Bible as a science book makes about as much sense as using astrology to explain black holes or dark matter. As for the "history," it's about as historical as the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
