Bryan Cross has asked a couple of times for evidence of Phil Johnson not
allowing God to create providentially as some of us assert. Adding to the
couple of quotes posted by others, I offer this one from _Defeating
Darwinism_ (first pointed out to this list by Terry Gray in his book review):
"I therefore put the following simple proposition on the table for
discussion: God is our true Creator. I am not speaking of a God who is
known only by faith and is invisible to reason, or who acted undetectably
behind some naturalistic evolutionary process that was to all appearances
mindless and purposeless. That kind of talk is about the human imagination,
not the reality of God. I speak of a God who acted openly and who left his
fingerprints all over the evidence."
This seems to be pretty clear that Johnson thinks that a God who created
providentially through "natural" processes is not worthy of being "our true
Creator." God has to leave scientifically detectable "fingerprints" if he is
to win Johnson's approval.
