AiG Responds to Peter Enns
by hamiltonmj1983
Which means that I owe an apology to the staff at Answers in Genesis for a comment that I made in a previous post. I said the following:
“I would not be surprised, unfortunately, if Ken Ham and the rest of the guys at Answers in Genesis ignore this criticism and refuse to engage with any ideas outside of their own minority view.”
And I was wrong. As Mark Looy, staff member at AiG, informed me, a response was written and posted to Enns’ blog post. In the spirit of full disclosure, I read AiG’s response, and I disagree with both their premises and their conclusions. I will also leave it up to you, the reader, as to whether this is a “critical engagement” or not (giving a response the title, “Mutilating God’s Word,” doesn’t quite ring of responsible, critical engagement).
What they did do, however, is respond, and that means that I was wrong. I made an unfair comment, and for that I am sorry. I wonder if Dr. Peter Enns will respond in turn?
Buddy, you have been either bullied or something else for apologizing to AIG the way you have. You want to know the truth, AIG is the biggest scum on earth. AIG is the most crooked criminal, and does not deserve apologies at all. Please read my tweets at kaibilbalam67 and learn the truth.
Hey man, I appreciate your comment, but I’m pretty sure we’re talking about something completely different.
The AIG that you are referring to is an insurance agency.
The AiG that I am referring to is “Answers in Genesis,” a semi-extremist, fundamentalist Christian organization that is set out to prove a pre-critical understanding of the Genesis texts and to badmouth anyone and everyone in academia who support non-literal readings of Genesis.
