The Old Testament: An Eonic Riddle
One of the great ironies of the Darwin debate is that the design argument doesn’t work with Old Testament history. For that a look at the eonic effect is needed.
Our understanding of the Old Testament is in crisis. The tide of Biblical Criticism and archaeology has eroded our sense of divine action, or of divinity acting in history. Traditionalists are frozen in biblical literalism, and heading over a cliff oblivious to their situation, while arrogant Darwinian reductionism only compounds the confusion by offering no insight into religion beyond the Social Darwinist vulgarity of the cadres of scientism.
