Okay.
"Each position can (and should) propose the creation of
humans with a "spiritual
connection" that allows a spiritual relationship between humans and
God."
For one who believes in the evolution of humans from other higher
primates
(according to God's plan), how would you define "creation?"
"In my opinion, miracles in formative history -- instead of being
clearly affirmed (or
denied) by the Bible, or being always (or never) indicated by gaps in
science --
are "possible but not necessary."
Whaat?
"As far as I know, with my limited knowledge of astrophysics, there
are no serious
challenges to theories proposing that natural processes produced
galaxies, stars,
and planets."
What has always bugged me about Hugh Ross is that in his own discipline
of
astrophysics he calls for no supernatural interference.=A0 Instead he
foists off his
theory of progressive creation by miraculous intervention on to the
science of
anthropology where he has no credentials.
In general I like what you had to say.=A0 In some ways it parallels what I
hold to.
My preference is that God, through His preknowledge, fully knows all that
will
transpire.=A0 You and I were known from the foundations of the earth.=A0
Knowing
means that god is not required to make interceptions along the way to
cause
a desireable result.=A0 It is only if He is unaware of the future that He
would be
required to make corrections continually to insure an outcome He
prefers.
In that respect TE involves a higher view of God than does PC.
