Theology, like science, is sometimes obscured by layers of folk ideas. That doesn’t mean there isn’t anything worth knowing, and it certainly shouldn’t stop anyone pursuing it at a more rigorous level if they want to.
Maggi Dawn is responding to the ripples of Richard Dawson’s most recent ‘preaching’. (Do you think he’d be offended or complimented by that comment?) She’s right – just because people buy into a variety of folk lore doesn’t mean there aren’t worthwhile things to think through, explore and discuss in both theology and science.
It has been interested to read such a diverse response to Dawson. I read a couple blogs where people love his work and I read a number of blogs who entirely dismiss him, attack him or disagree.
