[asa] Van Till

There have been posts to the Christians In Science newsgroup to suggest that
Howard Van Till is no longer a Christian, based on the talk referenced on
Dembski's weblog here:

However, on reading Van Till's article, albeit given to a "freethought"
conference, I was unable to say whether he was or was not a Christian - it
is clear that his views have altered recently, but I'm not sure how radical
the change is. I consider it extremely bad form to question someone else's
faith unless they have explicitly denied they have that faith. Can anyone
else comment on how radical a change this is. If he has indeed rejected
Christianity, from having been a leading spokesman for Theistic Evolution,
then it is going to give the ID people quite a bit of propaganda among
Christian circles, sadly.

What is also clear from the article is the abysmally shoddy way Van Till was
treated by his Christian associates, who tended to respond with "knee-jerk"
reactions.
