Enjoy:


And

???????

Which early Church writer quoted from Rose's book? How could a person who lived sometime in the first five centuries after Calvary quote from a book that wasn't written until the end of the 20th century?

That's better. If you can still use the Edit feature to correct the op then I encourage you to do so because as written, it makes no sense.

So, some guy writes a book at the end of the 20th century, and he quotes or references some of the ECFs. So what? Referencing the ECFs is a fairly common practice in modernity, one that is alternatively done well and not so well. Is there a specific point to be made pertaining to Rose's use of the ECFs when he wrote about Genesis, creation, and early man? Is there a specific point or position Rose has made that this op is intended to discuss?

If so, what?

The summarized basic preface is that The Early Church Writers Affirm Creationism.
