I think it is understandable, to a degree, how a man like Waltke can be fatigued with always fighting against the culture. The desire of the apologist is to find some common ground – a common thread from which he can engage the wider culture. Evolution has moved from being a field of scientific inquiry to being a cultural norm – not only a scientific “certainty”, but the very basis of natural science, anthropology, psychology, sociology and even philosophy. It is a bully pulpit. Forget swimming upstream - if you don’t embrace evolution, you’re not even in the stream – you’re trying to swim on the bank. The temptation to give in to such a cultural behemoth is great for those who would like to engage the modern culture. Ultimately, I agree with Trueman’s thoughts, but I think we need to maybe give men like Waltke a little more time and consideration, though I know it’s difficult when they are in such an authoritative position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
