Is Gavin Ortlund Right About "Is Genesis History?"

Gavin Ortlund from @TruthUnites (on YouTube) is a gracious and kind Christian brother. I disagree with his take on origins though, and I think a response to his latest video critiquing Is Genesis History? is warranted. I hope all who see this understand my heart toward the situation and find this to be a helpful (even if long!) contribution.
