That would be fair to say. What percentage "a number of us" would<br>
be of the whole would be difficult to say, but I would venture less<br>
than 50%.<br>

I find TE scientifically in tune, but most TEers are liberal <br>
theologically, while my theology is staunch conservative, downright <br>
fundamentalist even. I take Genesis 1-11 literally, for example.<br>
<p>
The problem here is that my conservative Christian brothers tend <br>
to hold their interpretation of Scripture equal to Scripture. And <br>
if Genesis is mistranslated and misinterpreted, as is normally the<br>
case, it is made to appear to be in conflict not only with science <br>
but history to boot.<br>
<p>
ID doesn't work for me. If we are the product of ID, why do we <br>
suffer from over 3,000 genetic disorders? Clever design would be a <br>
better nomenclature. That would be easier to see through and would <br>
help distinguish the Creator's method of creation (TE) from that <br>
proposed by His short-sighted, but otherwise well-intentioned <br>
defenders. <br>
