I tend to agree. This is the kind of thing that will shut down all
dialogue with my evangelical friends. From what I can tell this whole
"must" approach is not representative of TE/EC. Is there anyone out
there that holds to Giberson's thesis? So far, all I have heard is
critique of it from the TEs. That being said Giberson is correct that
a great deal of theological work needs to be done to deal with the
challenges that accepting evolution causes -- but with a much larger
heaping of humility.
