Survey of interpretive views on Genesis 1-2: gap theory, day-age, young earth, progressive creation, Walton, Heiser, William Lane Craig

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 23) 01:10:56 – 01:12:26

Mike surveys the major interpretive frameworks for Genesis 1-2 without committing to one.

Views surveyed: (1) Gap theory; (2) Day-age theory; (3) Young earth creationism (24-hour literal days); (4) Progressive creation; (5) John Walton's functional ontology/cosmic temple view (referenced via the Inspiring Philosophy YouTube channel); (6) Michael Heiser's similar view; (7) William Lane Craig's 'mytho-history' — archetypal language, noting Craig's term is misleading because it does not mean myth in the popular sense but refers to an ancient Near Eastern archetypal genre. Mike says he has more question marks than before and has moved away from confident young-earth creationism — not because of science but because of genre questions and internal consistency issues.
