Re: [asa] Question for all the theistic evolutionists

As a TE, I debate both atheists and YECs (and OECs) online. When a typical atheist starts in on me from a creation angle, it throws them for a loop when I state my TE position. I end up having more leverage with science and statistical odds. Several atheists have mentioned that I am the smartest Christian they've met, which is darn scary.
