Seems Herman told us nothing to convince us that he is an expert on the Book of Genesis. He does however give us a good dose of his opinion. The vague reference is intriging but I wonder who authored it?
Science collects facts over time and the theory itself does evolve as we learn more. We know much more about cancer than our grandparents. We know how to fly which was impossible before 1903. We build bridges that were impossible two hundred years ago. Let's reserve science for the science classes.
As for creation in general let us turn to the Bible: "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Indeed, by faith our ancestors received approval. By faith we understand the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible." (Hebrews 11: 1-3 NRSV) This is theology and might well be taught in schools but to date, we do not have it in the public school cirriculum.
My wife and I attend church weekly and accept the evolution of viruses and many other of God's species. Personally as a retired engineer, I do not find evolution and Christianty incompatable.
So keep up the enlightenment, Frank!
