I see. You were replying to the paradigm of her and not me when you said “mean ole creationist”.
She was not attacking them. She mentioned , since it’s a interview about her and her work and her life experiences between science and faith, the issues from atheists and creationists. One issue she does not like is when unqualified people misrepresents her work or when she’s falsely accused of being evil.
I definitely understand that. As a Christian who strongly believes in God and his word I’m often treated as less qualified by atheists and as someone who sees the clear evidence of science pointing towards evolution I am also accused by Christians for not having faith in God or the Bible. Which is ridiculous. I constantly bring up my faith. I’m not ashamed of it or Christ. I’m not ashamed that I believe in God and that includes that his word is divinely inspired and that he determines my morality. I’ve not even kissed a woman in 10 years because I was not willing to date someone and fall in love because my ex divorced me and I was not sure where I stood with marriage, divorce, and remarriage. I was not sure if the Pauline “exception” was real or not or if I was not understanding what being let lose of bondage meant in 1 corinthians 7.
After studying it out I have came to the conclusion that adultery is not the only reason for remarriage but that’s it’s also possible if your spouse is not a Christian and divorced you then you are set free. I was not a Christian when I got married. I became a Christian shortly after being married. So now I’m into my fourth year of being engaged to a woman I met through an arranged engagement that I entered by faith after praying and reading scripture.
So I’m constantly having to explain to Christians that I can believe 100%! In the Bible and still not believe it’s 100% literal but see the clear evidence that genesis 1-11 is not about literal history but setting up biblical patterns. After all you can read any 12 chapters of genesis 12+, exodus, acts and any other historical narrative basically and see a clear distinction in writing styles from genesis 1-11.

Marriage ? I can't offer advice except to say ''once you decide to put Jesus first, for the good of the family, next then her, then yourself , once you lead by example and she eventually understands the family plan and you show you're for real about it .. You may get more wife than you ever thought possible .. Then remember to never give any one your whole heart but Jesus and never make her your god ahead of Jesus or you risk getting crushed, becoming one flesh with her as the weaker vessel, there's more than plenty room for all by putting Jesus first .. My house is not a church if it sounds that way but just established right rules based on biblical ethics everyone can benefit from and depend on ..
You believe genesis 1-11 is not literal but until 200 years 99% Christians did on back to creation, you're on the wrong team .. It is pagans who worship nature .. Look around and see who all else is on your team, I love all on my team and Jesus is my team captain .. Do you really think I question 6000 year creation any at all, no way , my faith has become substance ..''to he who has will be given more'' .. I like you but you have nothing but loopholes to chase and skirt truth .. If you only knew .. Humble yourself regroup and seek truth . No need to respond to every point made here unless you just want to discuss it .. God Bless
