What is religious pluralism?Show answer
These positions shape attitudes to mission and interfaith dialogue, and each can be challenged: exclusivism for seeming harsh, pluralism for diluting Christian truth-claims, inclusivism for being unstable between the two.
What is model paragraph?Show answer
The claim that science has made belief in creation impossible rests on a particular, and contested, reading of what "creation" means. If creation is taken as a literal six-day event a few thousand years ago, then the overwhelming evidence for the age of the universe and for evolution does indeed refute it, and many Christians accept this. But the central Christian doctrine is not a scientific timetable; it is "creatio ex nihilo", the claim that everything that exists depends for its being on God.
