RE: [asa] Who are the famous TE's?

It is inaccurate to classify John Stott as TE. In his commentary on Romans,
he argued against dogmatism on any position in the creation-evolution
debate. While he saw no problem with death of animals with biblical
teaching, he held firmly that the first human made in the image of God were
made immortal. He saw no conflict between the possibility of Adam being made
by God from an existing hominid, and biblical teaching. However, this does
not mean he is convinced by the scientific account of evolution.

I have been looking for statements in Alister McGrath's writings that
confirms his position rests in the TE camp. Can you give quotations?

A survey question for you all.
 
Who are the most famous modern outspoken speakers/authors (celebrities) who
advocate any form of Theistic Evolution? If you had to name the top three,
who would you recommend?
 
As far as I know, it would be:
Francis Collins
Howard Van Till
???
 
I also heard a little of Kenneth Miller, but don't know much about him. No
Deists, though. If there was a panel of three TE's in a symposium, who
would you most like to see there?
