This may happen, but I reiterate in perhaps even stronger
language what I posted yesterday. ASA is NOT the defining center of
science-theology dialogue in the Christian community., ASA is itself is
in serious danger of being marginalized vis-a-vis that larger discussion
by Johnsonism. If that happens, TEs will be at the margin closest to
the real center. Serious theological discussion of evolution will go on
in other organizations, denominations, journals, &c. (Some of that
discussion will be wacko stuff at the _other extreme, but by no means
all.)
