Does this mean that 'theistic evolution' is likewise not a 'scientific conclusion,' but rather philosophy and theology? In your opinion is theistic evolution a mix of science, theology and philosophy, whose main purpose is to combat the (American-Western) 'warfare model' of 'science and religion' and/or to make sense of the truth(s) of human and world history? What would then happen if 'evolutionary philosophy' is (shown to be) fundamentally contradictory to theism, even anti-theistic - would this undermine the theistic evolution perspective? Why isn't it called theistic-philosophical evolution or philosophical-theistic evolution if it really does involve philosophy? Please excuse if these questions do not properly apply to the 'continuous creation' position.
