”I don’t think that there’s any conflict at all between science today and the scriptures. I think that we have misinterpreted the Scriptures many times and we’ve tried to make the Scriptures say things they weren’t meant to say, I think that we have made a mistake by thinking the Bible is a scientific book. The Bible is not a book of science. The Bible is a book of Redemption, and of course I accept the Creation story. I believe that God did create the universe. I believe that God created man, and whether it came by an evolutionary process and at a certain point He took this person or being and made him a living soul or not, does not change the fact that God did create man. … whichever way God did it makes no difference as to what man is and man’s relationship to God. - Billy Graham “Billy Graham: Personal Thoughts of a Public Man, 1997. p. 72-74
Yep.

He is the author of Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark: Introduction and Commentary (Wipf and Stock, 2013) and a co-editor and contributor to From Fear to Faith: Stories of Hitting Spiritual Walls (Energion, 2013).

none of us were alive back then so none of us were eye-witnesses as to how this world and its inhabitants came to be. Scientists only study what they think is the evidence and make a guess. (funny thing, atheists accept what is said about evolution based on evidence but they want PROOF there is a god!!!)
“whether it came by an evolutionary process . . . or not”
Evidently he believes there’s some doubt in the matter.
