		<description><![CDATA[This week I started reading Peter Enns’ The Evolution of Adam. Enns, an evangelical biblical scholar, gets down to business on the very first page. (Bonus points to Enns for getting straight to the point.) He writes: The Human Genome Project, completed in 2003, has shown beyond any reasonable scientific doubt that humans and primates share [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=benirwin.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1150137&amp;post=3015&amp;subd=benirwin&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The theme of his talk was “Why we’ve all misunderstood the gospels.” For him, the gospels are, at their core, a proclamation of theocracy, the news that God has actually become [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=benirwin.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1150137&amp;post=2977&amp;subd=benirwin&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
