| Genesis Revisted or Revised? | Seely, PH. 2000.
PSCF 52(1):77-78. CELD ID 14867Abstract In their recent paper (PSCF 51 [December 1999]: 231-43), Held and Rust rightly insist that the biblical concept of creation need not exclude natural developmental processes and some of their suggestions for harmonizing the biblical text with developmental processes are felicitous. They wrongly assume, however, that the biblical concept of inspiration must exclude references to the primitive cultural concepts of the natural world held by the inspired writer. This false assumption leads them to make some suggestions that are more in the nature of revising Genesis than merely revisiting it.
