As I have said many times the creation/evolution issue is not very
effective at evangelism. Its strength lies in the ability to keep people
from leaving the faith. Thus it is a discipleship issue. One can't leave a
faith unless one was once part of it.

If you mean questions concerning ultimate reality, he believes ultimate
reality lies in the here and now. There isn't anything else. At least that
is what he has indicated to me in the past. I would hate to speak for him
or misrepresent his position.

I would assure you that Will has much insight. He is a delightful intellect
with a sharp wit and a quick jab to someone like me which jab has the
effect of making me think. He wouldn't be able to convert about half his
class each year to atheism if he didn't have human insight.
