I agree. It kinda throws out the whole seven-days narrative, along with the teaching on the Sabbath, and the teaching that in Christ we rest from our own works, and the prophetic parallels to the six thousand years and the 1,000 year reign of Christ on earth during the millennium...
It makes a farce out of the totality of scripture, when you really get right down to thinking about it.
I mean no offense to anyone who believes in a pre-Adamic age, but I see it as a needless fabrication. Why believe in it? The only reason I can see was aptly put forth by the writer in his concluding paragraph:
Hugh Ross and his fellow progressive creationists, along with the other pre-Adamite proponents, are trying to rescue the Bible from a perceived conflict with ‘science’ by reinterpreting the Bible rather than by questioning the ‘science’. This is because they erroneously think that ‘science’ speaks with more authority than God’s Word about origins and the age of the Earth.
How does pre-adamic undermine the 10 Commandments?
They weren't human and I believe they were like the angels only physical, so they either followed God back then or they didn't. No issue of repentance, salvation or anything like that.
