Understanding through Simplification
Divine accommodation suggests that to effectively convey complex truths, simplifications are necessary, just as children's understanding requires relatable analogies. For instance, instead of addressing intricate scientific concepts like plaque, using imaginative stories such as 'sugar monsters' brings clarity to the child’s perspective. Similarly, the biblical narratives in Genesis are interpreted not in strictly scientific terms, but in ways that resonate with the contemporary understanding of the audience. This approach does not negate the existence of scientific compatibility within the Bible; rather, it acknowledges that divine truths are revealed progressively, aligning with human comprehension and cultural context.
