Does anyone involved in this discussion believe in the Gap Theory? And so, view the Genesis story as a remolding, not as the initial creative act.

Also, in reference to the Imago Dei, has anyone read Harry Boer's work, An Ember Still Glowing: Humankind in the Image of God
in which he posits that there is one image of God, originally composed of Adam and Eve together, and now composed collectively of all humanity.

Rob,

For my part, it should be clear by now that I do not go with the gap theory. I find it to be (a) inadequately supported by preponderance of evidence and (b) like all concordist approaches (young-earth or old-earth), too obsessed with finding historicity of some kind in the Genesis 1 account - ie too modernist and anachronistic in its approach, too dismissive of literary genre and culture of the time.

I would like to thank everyone’s contribution to my thread, especially Mr. Jorgenson. Ultimately, I wanted a response from Dr. Boyd because of his advocating of “Open Theism” and “Spiritual Warfare.” I can only assume he would agree with all, some, or none of theistic evolutionism based on his non-blue print view of Christianity.

Let’s pray that he remembers his password to get back on here.

No gap theory here.
