In a short and biting piece, Clifford Goldstein argues that even a non-literal reading of Genesis 1 brings to light a view of origins that is incompatible with the theory of evolution. In summary he concludes, “Though I disagree with those who don’t read Genesis literally, their position is not absurd. What is absurd is to read an evolutionary schema into a biblical account that, even with a broad and free interpretation, denies it at the most fundamental level.”
