A Dove Award winning worship leader and Christian music artist has come out and said that he rejects the story of creation as found in Genesis.

Michael Gungor, who with his wife Lisa have been nominated for Grammy Awards and won Dove Awards for worship music, wrote on his blog that he doesn’t believe the story of creation in Genesis is literally true.

“I guess I’ll have to come out of the closet and admit…no, sorry kid, I don’t believe in a literal six-day creation,” Gungor wrote.

The posting comes after a post earlier this year where he denied Adam and Eve.

“I have no more ability to believe, for example, that the first people on earth were a couple named Adam and Eve that lived 6,000 years ago,” he wrote. “I have no ability to believe that there was a flood that covered all the highest mountains of the world only 4,000 years ago and that all of the animal species that exist today are here because they were carried on an ark and then somehow walked or flew all around the world from a mountain in the middle east after the water dried up.”

Gungor is now working with liberal Christian theologian Rob Bell and others on projects including “God Our Mother” that talks about God as a motherly, loving figure.

Gungor’s statements are drawing less-than-pleased responses from people who followed their ministry, saying that he’s obviously walking away from God and embracing the views of those who deny God’s word.
