Thanks so much for the link to Denis O. Lamoureux's paper on
Evolutionary Creation at
<http://www.ualberta.ca/~dlamoure/3EvoCr.htm.>http://www.ualberta.ca/~dlamoure/3EvoCr.htm.

As he correctly states, the leading evangelical evolutionary
creationist today is Howard Van Till. He spent most of his career at
Calvin College, an institution considered to be the leading
evangelical college in the United States supporting this view of
origins. Van Till claims that God created the world 'fully-gifted'
from its inception so that all the universe and life would evolve
without subsequent Divine interventions.

I agree with him except for one thing - I think there was at the very
least one subsequent "Divine intervention" when God specifically
created Adam in His image.

As there was no "suitable" mate to be found for Adam from among the
other lesser creatures --- which had been created (anciently) --- God
created Eve from Adam's specifically created substance.

God banished the two of them from the Garden of Eden after they
deliberately disobeyed (sinned), marring his image in them.

What happened after that?

Dick Fisher has written a couple of fascinating articles defending
the special creation of Adam and Eve while at the same time providing
a possible explanation for why many scientists insist they have
biological evidence that all life descended from one single ancestor.

Like Lamoureux, Dick Fisher is also a Fellow of the American
Scientific Affiliation (ASA). Here are the links to his articles:

Any feedback would be appreciated.

On a side note: Personally, I think that until scientists get rid of
their current PR people and instead promote people like Lamoureaux
and Fisher as PR persons on the subject of evolution, they will not
make much headway with the American public - the vast majority of
whom claim to be Christians.

The most vocal proponents of "evolution" (their PR people), are
atheists like Dawkins, and other rabid, frothing-at-the-mouth God
haters. Types like the "humanist" Eugenie Scott, et.al., don't fool
anyone either - just because they have chosen a "low key" approach.
Web sites like internet infidels may champion such people, but
serious, orthodox Christians will not pay one bit of attention to the
opinions of atheists/secular humanists when it comes to the important
questions of life.
