Crack in the dam
Hi Mycernius,
What I have noticed in a couple of fundies is the great fear of 'If Genesis is not true as it is written, then what about the rest?'. An old earth, evolution and several other things are seen as the first small movement on a slippery slope. Even the smallest concession to reality is dreaded as the first step towards total loss of faith. So no in betweens, not even half an inch. Much more comfortable to stay in that simple mode of thinking where you know what is true and what isn't and to block out anything else.
