Creation not Macroevolution 5: The 4 Ancient & Modern Creationist Schools

This is the 1st in a trilogy of sermons by Gavin preached in connection with the Dedication of Volume 2 of his old earth creationist book, "Creation, Not Macroevolution - Mind the Gap;" although because he links these sequentially with the quadruple of sermons preached earlier this year in connection with Vol. 1 of this work he has called these sermons "Creation not Macroevolution" 5,6, & 7. In looking at Gen. 1 & 2 creation models, Gavin 1stly considers the 4 broad ancient (& other pre-modern) & modern creationist schools of Judaism & Christianity; & 2ndly, the 2 broad ancient & later Noah's Flood schools. The 4 creationist schools are: 1) The Young Earth Six 24 Hour Days Universal Creation School; 2) The Non-Sequential & Symbolic Creation Days School, found in the historically modern old earth creationist (& Theistic macroevolutionist) Framework School; 3) The Sequential & Symbolic Creation Days School, found in the historically modern old earth creationist (& Theistic macroevolutionist) Day-Age School; & 4) The Gap School, found in the historically modern old earth creationist Global Earth Gap School in its diverse forms, & old earth creationist Local Earth Gap School (endorsed by Gavin). The 2 flood schools are broadly a geographically universal or local flood (endorsed by Gavin). Gavin rejects the "proclivity by certain historically modern creationist writers to cite only those ancient Jewish & Christian writers which support their view, or are allegedly said to support their view." He also warns of the dangers of the clandestine cult-connection between certain, though not all, promoters of young earth creationism & schismatic heresies (I Cor. 11:18,19; Col. 2:8,9).
