Russ, I have always been puzzled by your category of "nonnegotiability."
Can you briefly outline what epistemological/hermeneutic justification
you have in making this distinction? For example, why to you consider
the de novo creation of Adam and Eve nonnegotiable (Genesis 2), but
you do not employ this category for the de novo creation as
described in Gen 1? (I am assuming that you still maintain either an
overlapping day-age or framework exegesis of the first chapter of God's
Word. The Impact of Evolutionary Theory, p. 185)
Many thanx.
Blessings,
Denis
