Dispensationalism wouldn't view it as discontinuity, but rather as progressive. But this would be a result, not a cause. We have to start with the text. The hermeneutics deside how we get to the interpretation. You might look at the definitions I gave above again. They might be helpful.

I have to admit though, that some dispensationalists would see discontinuity here. I can't speak for them, because I consider them to have forced a grid on their understanding. This is a possible result of not following the hermeneutic consistently (or being completely ignorant of it, like most dispensationalists are.).

I do not know, and I do not say, that a person cannot believe in Revelation and in evolution, too, for a man may believe that which is infinitely wise and also that which is only asinine. ~ CHS
