→Gnostic traits in Liberal Theology: AEons in scientism
**Obsessive interest in non-canonical scripts such as the ''Gospel of Thomas'', the ''Gospel of Mary'', and the ''Gospel of the Egyptians'', contrarian approach to Christian history and trial “to integrate a whole set of [this] ‘heretical’ literature into the standard history”<ref name="smithsonian"/>

** Replacing basic tenets of Christianity such as on personal God with word spinning around 'religion' and introducing terms like "religious identity": ''“Religion is absolutely central to who I am in every way,”'' she said.

Open your Bible at any page you like, there is nothing about solving religious problems. Bible testifies that God exists and that he revealed himself through Jesus Christ. It shows too that the man who lives without God is not living right. ... All religions are human attempts to find God.

This is strong evidence that modern long-age views of creation do not originate in Genesis, but are a misguided attempt by some Christian leaders to try to reconcile what God has said with the atheistic pronouncements of evolutionary ‘science’.|accessdate=November 8, 2014}}</ref> and [[A.D.]] - with reference to gnostic ''aeons''{{#tag:ref|cf. “time itself performs miracles” in [[Age_of_the_earth#cite_note-19]]|group=note}} as representants of their own belief system on [[origin science|origin]] of the world.
