Re: RTB vs Dick Fischer

Dick -

I think you're omitting a critical point. Correct me if I'm wrong but you started with the assumption that early Genesis had to be historical narrative in more or less precise fashion & won't consider altering that theological presupposition. Whether or not that assumption is correct isn't the point now, but it does seem to be for you (& others) a theological a priori.

  When reality contradicts theology, theology must conform to reality. It won't work the other way around. Had they known enough about anthropology they might have reached a different conclusion. That was my starting point. I studied anthropology and paleo-anthropology first, and only then did I even read Genesis. Done in that order everything fell into place. Admittedly, few people would do it that way.
