Dear Jim:
I'm responding to your initial request for "journals of an evangelical bent that often address evolution/origin issues." I was surprised that no one nominated the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) publication, Origins. It is published semi-annually by the Geoscience Research Institute, Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, California 92350, affiliated with Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan. Subscription rate is $8:00 per year. It is in about its 25th year.
It may be that you or others on the list do not consider an SDA journal within the evangelical fold. I have read Origins for nearly 25 years. Among publications favoring a young-earth perspective I have found it consistently to be the most open-minded and thoughtful. Historian Ronald Numbers, author of The Creationists, is a former SDA member whose research on Ellen White's writings led to turmoil within the denomination. It was Ron who explained to me that a six-day creation is of special theological importance to SDA scientists, yet the journal is written and edited with great civility.
