I am one who appreciates RTB. Head is Hugh Ross, a physicist / astronomer who has
built a large Christian following. His Basic approach: The Big Bang and its
consequences are to be taken seriously by the Christian community. He is
strongly opposed by Young Earthers, because of the Old Earth implications of the Big
Bang. His approach to exegesis of Genesis I is to take the creation Days as long
geologic periods.
All God's best, Larry
