Hi Ben, I know it's in this same forum but was wondering if you'd read all the way through
this post. I thought it was pretty exhaustive/ing :-) and it deals with the Hebrew and some other other specific points. I do think the theological implications of theistic evolution are simply untenable, and am not sure with what certainty we are to approach the resurrection and Christ's other miracles if we begin to allow science to be authoritative in interpreting Scripture. As others have noted, just because a passage has a literary structure doesn't mean it isn't literal historical truth.
As regards science, they treat 'theory' in this area as established fact. Science is properly a tool to observe things that can be observed; not a philosophy about origins: it is this tool, and not the philosophy, that the reliability or suitability of our senses can be used to validate. Scripture does not give science any authority to speak to origins or to a spiritual world that cannot be observed and experimented with in a scientific manner. In these areas Scientists are walking blind: they can only make guesses and change the guesses as new data about our present, physical world comes forward (and they only have a fraction of the data about even that). God's word doesn't change with all these outdated models.
