[color=darkred:1ssemcvw]How is that both? Theistic Creationist basically interprets Genesis hyper-literally. From what I understand, their interpretation doesn’t leave any room for evolution.

Theistic Evolutionist on the other hand holds on to the essence of our faith found in Genesis, but is open to the rest. Most of them lean to science for those answers.[/color:1ssemcvw]
