But since, being reformed didn't get me fired, I'm not sure being a theistic evolutionist would either. I am curious... What impact does the typical theistic evolutionist opinion have on their view of Adam and Eve and original sin? Before Keller's book, was it widely known that he was a theistic evolutionist? I didn't realize that Mohler and Keller were so tight that he would get a "pass". If I were a theistic evolutionist I would think that it would be trouble for me at church.

Before Keller’s book, was it widely known that he was a theistic evolutionist?

I didn’t realize that Mohler and Keller were so tight that he would get a “pass”.

The closest thing I have to a denomination wouldn't care. I'm honestly not sure about my church. That would be interesting. I'm the youth pastor, but I'm not sure if I would be immediately fired. Now I have to decide if that's a good or bad thing.
