I agree to a small degree with Dick. I'm not saying that Johnson, etc.
are not Christians however I have a grave concern if what I think I read
is true. Is it true that Johnson agrees that, if evolution is true, then
there is no God? I know that I read something similar in a book by
Colson. It seems to me that this is really the height of stupidity. It
seems to be the product of such pitiful reasoning that one has to ask
"How much harm are these people doing to Christianity?" As the evidence
for evolution continues to mount, many Christians will feel that science
has indeed proven that there is no God --- the worst of all worlds and
far more damaging than an incorrect scientific opinion like YEC.
I think it would be better if such people would just declare themselves
to be atheists and go join the other team. Do we really want
widely-read, vocal people "on our side" so to speak? Why would it not be
proper to publicly disavow them as people who are leading Christians
astray? That does not say that they are not Christians, but just that
they are doing such great harm by pitting science against religion that
really don't want them on our team. (I guess that they would same about
us; wouldn't they?)
