Yes, I saw this & responded (I think politely), pointing out that their
correspondent wasn't exactly accurate about what I'd said. E.g., I didn't
say that participating in the suffering of the world was the _only_ purpose
of the Incarnation. But of course creationists never make mistakes.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about this report on the Cleveland
conferences is that the 3 speakers who get zapped most heavily, Kenneth
Miller, Keith Miller & myself, are the 3 who most clearly identified
themselves & their presentations as Christian. I think the people that AiG
& other anti-evolutionists dislike the most are not "atheistic
evolutionists" but those who present a coherent theological case for
acceptance of - or at least openness too - evolution. They probably sense
that once one admits even the possibility that a Christian can hold an
evolutionary view, all their claims about scientific support for their
notions will be seen to be smoke & mirrors.

Shalom,
George
