On the radio!

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

Made my first ever call to a call-in radio show this afternoon! Drew Marshall, who is always worth a listen, had some six-day creationist on his show, and as usual I was staggered by the general unthinking attitude of the general Christian public. I still find it hard to believe that there are so many Christians around that seem comfortable going through all the intellectual contortions necessary to shoe-horn everything we know about pre-history into a specific presentation of the Genesis account. Anyways, I phoned up and pointed out that there certainly were a few Christians around who found a universe in the age range of, say, 10-20 billion years far more plausible and in agreement with observable evidence.

Needless to say, the guest speaker wasn’t particularly inclined to agree with me, but I did also get to make a request that the creationists stop making their understanding of origins a pre-condition for Christian faith. Drew seemed to appreciate my call, which was nice.
