Arguments against theistic evolution: Difference between revisions

The primary challenge to theistic evolution is this: At which point is one to believe that Genesis becomes literal?  Is the [[biblical genealogy]] of Genesis 5 also allegorical and mythological?  If so, what was the allegorical intent of the specific years and dates given for those people, the year at which they had the next son in their line, and the year they died?  What of the fact that those genealogies are used literally throughout the Old Testament, and Matthew and Luke in the New Testament?  Is the [[Great flood]] mythological?  If so, what are we to do with the [[Table of Nations]], and the references to [[Noah]] by [[Jesus]] and [[Peter]] in the New Testament?  Were the detailed stories of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph also allegorical?  The theistic evolutionist must answer the question: Where does allegory end and history begin in Genesis?
