http://www.biologos.org/ is a new org. started by Francis Collins, of human genome fame. He is both a believer and a genetic scientist and like the foundation believes that both faith and science lead to truth about God and creation, as I do also.

My request is NOT that you agree with him or me, but that you agree that believers over many time periods differ on their understanding of the early Gen. stories and similarly, believers differ in their understanding of the end times. Or to put it another way, there is a range of orthodox understanding in both creation and end times.

For example, I do not think that non-egal believers are unorthodox simply because of their non-egalism, I think they are mistaken, but then again maybe it is me in my egalism that is mistaken and I will find out when there is unity in the faith and in the meantime I am to maintain the unity of the Spirit. And similar for my beliefs about Creation and end times.
