““Framework hypothesis. Dr. Meredith Kline (1922–2007), who accepted many evolutionary ideas, popularized this view in America.24 It is very common in many seminaries today. Those who hold to framework treat Genesis 1 as a literary device (think poetic or semi-poetic), with the first three days paralleling and equating to the last three days of creation. These days are not seen as 24-hour days but are taken as metaphorical or allegorical to allow for ideas like evolution/millions of years to be entertained.
