Al Mohler on the Bible and Evolution

    A brilliant post. Mohler et al may believe that by ‘holding the line’ against evolution they are protecting the faith and safeguarding the Church. Anecdotally at least I’ve seen plenty of indication to the contrary: the fact that prominent leaders like Mohler still dispute well-established science leads many to conclude the new atheists are right: Christianity is anti-rational, close-minded and stuck in the past. What’s the effect of this on the countless who are questioning, doubting, struggling with their faith, or wondering why Christianity should be given consideration?
