With regard to the Greeks being wrong about there not being a beginning to the universe: the essayist seems to be conflating the concept of an ever-existing universe with a universe that has existed for a long time. The two concepts are entirely different. So even if the essayist can show that the Greeks were wrong in their thoughts regarding the universe, it doesn't necessarily follow that those of us who believe that the universe has been around for billions of years are equally wrong.
What I mean is the one can posit a world no older than 6.,000 years and provide a reasonable explanation of things as they are. I have never had any problem with reconciling the Bible and an ancient world. But so much of evolutionary studies have had the object of discrediting the Bible and by positing a prehistory so ancient that it is virtually the same as “forever,” In my opinion, Genesis presents to us a mystery, something as mysterious as Revelation. I am the Alpha and the Omega. The Bible describes the history of the relationship of God to man, and man as he is—right now. And that relationship had a beginning and it will end. The flaw of the Darwinists was that they were among those who wanted that relationship broken, and the result of their efforts can be seen in the last 100 years. The Greek Myth of Icarus comes to mind.
