RE: [asa] Is evolution a fact? (Dawkins style)

That is why I am not surprised to see it on the ASA site. How about Howard
J. Van Till's "fully-gifted creationist?"

  A smile and a sigh, indeed! Ironic then that the term 'total creationist'
wasn't used instead of 'total evolutionist.' Might want to check out how
many ASAers out there live with a theology of paradox and mystery,
apophatically, instead of kataphatically, with rationalism and empirical
proofs as the primary basis for their (westernized) faith. Perhaps only in
such a label-sensitive, politically-correct world does one shun the term
'creationist' (after noting: 'we are all creationists!') to embrace an
alternative, seemingly antagonistic (i.e. evolutionist, according to 20th
century debate), even self-contradictory view that is meant mainly to
accommodate science with religion so as not to be afflicted by a 'warfare
model,' which is inescapably fundamental to evolution's 'struggle,'
competition, conflict motif anyway! I agree in the spirit of your
compromise.
