Lots of people caught the OEC/YEC mistake, thanks. For ID, I'm going to
say it cuts across OEC and YEC, so it is not distinct. I don't know
what PE is, so I'll have to research that.

You got Ross and Ham mixed up! I'm not sure who, if anyone, would
classify him or herself as "DE". I wonder if you want to have a "PE"
category -- process theology evolution. Also an "ID" but you'd need
multiple subcategories there.

I'm preparing a class (proposal) on the origins debate for my church.

 

I plan on saying there are currently 5 positions, with champions:

 

OEC: Old Earth Creationism, Ken Ham

YEC: Young Earth Creationism, Hugh Ross

TE: Theistic Evolution, Francis Collins

DE: Deistic Evolution, <champion?>

AE: Atheistic Evolution, Richard Dawkins

 

I don't have a champion for DE. Does anyone know one? I haven't studied
that part yet. I'm open to suggestions.
