Reformed Biblical theologians: Adam would have ruled over creation and subdued the serpent.
Evangelicals: Yes, very good.
RBT: Adam was created as the crown of creation, in the image of divine kingship, and that divine-human kingship was to spread throughout creation.

Evangelical: Yes, amazing. Adam was a king.

Theology is the queen of the sciences. Being a theologian or bishop does not bestow omni-science competence. I.e., theologians do not make law, bishops do not institute civil reform.

It’s basically that IQ meme. Low and high both agree. God moved the bullet.
Predestinarian theology aside, Basic Theology 101 says God is usually pleased to accomplish his purposes in the world through the use of means.
To say that “God moved the bullet” doesn’t deny remote causality, it affirms proximate causality.
