Marsden seems to express, imo, disdain for the literal 6 24-hr day view of creation and modern creation science, equating both with fundamentalism. He testified in the Arkansas trial for plaintiffs against the teaching of creation science in public school.

His church affiliation and academic credentials are clear indications of a problematic faith, to be as charitable as I can be.

To clarify, it's not my intention to skewer Marsden, but he is far from being a spiritual example, as is Miller. Neither one conveys a sound faith. Much good can be gleaned from both, but both should be read with caution.
