Early Christadelphian Views on Science
The Christadelphian community has never officially accepted evolution, but what those who have grown up in the last half-century do not realise is that the community was solidly old-earth creationist for much of its life, with YEC infecting the community from the late 1960s onwards, around the same time the evangelical community in the US also moved from an old-earth stance. Creationism, whether old earth or young earth is of course untenable, but a recognition that YEC and flood geology are foreign impositions is helpful to reorient the community, and let it recognise that what drove acceptance of an old earth was a recognition the science was sound and the evidence overwhelming. The parallels towards accepting evolution are clear.
