re: #61 Hecuba’s daughter

I am somewhat confused by Pat Robertson’s views: he detests YEC, has stated the universe is about 14 billion years old and that dinosaurs went extinct about 50 million years ago , but he doesn’t believe that we evolved from lower forms of life. Maybe he believes that evolution applies to everything except humans?

Pat Robertson is an Old Earth creationist.

en.wikipedia.org

Old Earth creationists are found in many religious sects, not just Evangelicals. However, any form of creationism does not comport with the evidence. Old Earth creationism tries to position themselves as sort of a “middle ground” between religious assertions and scientific findings.

Probably the Old Earth creationist assertion heard most often in liberal Christian churches is the idea that God “guided” evolution (called progressive creationism). No evidence supports the assertion of any sort of “guide.”
