Summary

Peter Byrom says he is "very nearly" convinced of Christianity. Having dallied with an atheist perspective he now rejects many of those arguments. However one area of theology he doesn't feel is clear is the question of Adam and Eve and the Fall. Who were Adam and Eve - a historical couple or a metaphor for the human condition? Why did their rebellion impact the whole of humanity? How can we reconcile original sin with human free will? Peter Sanlon is a lecturer in theology at Oakhill College. He responds to the theology. Prof Norman Nevin is Emeritus professor of Medical Genetics at Queens University Belfast. He responds to scientific aspects of the discussion. For Peter Sanlon see http://grace-city.blogspot.com/ or http://www.oakhill.ac.uk/ Norman Nevin is the Editor of "Should Christians Embrace Evolution?" http://www.ivpbooks.com/9781844744060 To see Peter Byrom quiz Dawkins on why he won't debate William Lane Craig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFamS4RGE_A Peter Byrom is a member of the Premier Community - you can interact with the show there too http://www.premiercommunity.org.uk/group/unbelievable For more Christian/non Christian debate visit http://www.premier.org.uk/unbelievable or get the podcast at http://ondemand.premier.org.uk/unbelievable/AudioFeed.aspx or Via Itunes If you enjoyed this programme you may also enjoy: Unbelievable? 1 Aug 2009 - Debating doctrine - James White and Roger & Faith Forster debate predestination Unbelievable? 29 Nov 2008 Creation or Evolution - do we have to choose?
