And at the NTSE in Austin in 1997 Phil stated openly in his public
address that "theistic evolution" as a viable Christian stance would be
gone in a year or two. I challenged him on that rather strongly. Even if
the ID arguments were to wildly succeed, people don't change all that
quickly.

Ted replies: Like another attorney who opposed "Darwinism," (I think here
of Bryan), Phil sees "theistic evolution" as perhaps the worst case
scenario. Bryan described it once (Perhaps this quotation isn't absolutely
accurate, word for word, but I'll imply it is with quotation marks), as "the
anesthetic that dulls the pain while the faith is removed." I sense that
Phil's position is the same on that score.
