And when you sin against other believers
by encouraging them to do something they believe is wrong,
you are sinning against Christ.
1 Corinthians 8:12 NLT
"Dr. Ervin Taylor, the co-founder and guiding influence of “Adventist Today,” passed away on May 9, 2019, at the age of 81.
Dr. Taylor’s scientific specialty was radiometric dating. He was instrumental in dating an important archeological find in North America, “Kennewick Man.”
Dr. Taylor was a believer in the conventional chronology of human history, which posits that modern man (homo sapiens) emerged from preexisting hominid species in Africa about 200,000 years ago.
Sadly for Dr. Taylor, who was a life-long Seventh-day Adventist, that story conflicts radically with the Biblical account of human origins found in Genesis one and two.
AToday’s founding mission, or one of them, was to create an Adventism that would compromise with Darwinism and the conventional long chronology.
In the quarter century since its founding, AToday hasn’t succeeded in that mission, at least not officially. AToday has, however, in conjunction with Spectrum and other liberal California Adventists, enjoyed some local successes, such as La Sierra, which became a rats’ nest of Seventh-day Darwinians.....the plight of people like Dr. Taylor is essentially tragic. They believe something in their professional lives that conflicts with their religion. Their response is to try to new-model the religion to alleviate the conflict."
