I don't mean to hijack your thread, but this is as close of a discussion as I can find and I am not allowed to start new topics. I am also looking for a discussion among the evangelical community regarding Genesis. I have recently been convinced of the reality of evolution. Up until this point I was an old earth guy who otherwise pretty much took everything in Genesis as literal. I am sort of in limbo so to speak and I would like to discuss with other real believers how they handle Genesis. It is not easy for me just to write off the whole thing as (I shutter to use the word) a myth. Where did it start being literal? Was Noah a real person? If there was only a local flood, did it not kill off all of humanity (like all those in the New World). Was Abraham a real person (I am being a bit extreme here but I just want to press my point)?
If this is not the appropriate place then please direct me elsewhere, either to another thread or forum altogether. Basically, I am looking for people who believe in Jesus, his deity, incarnation, death, resurrection, and our resting in him for salvation; who otherwise believe the evidence for evolution is overwhelming. To be totally transparent, I am getting a little nervous and would like to talk through some of these issues with other Christians.
