Human history is a lot more complex and unpredictable than the general
evolutionary history of organisms. Yet no one sees the existence of
human history as significantly favoring Arminian versus Calvinistic
versus open theism. Why is evolution viewed as more problematic?
Does evolution actually raise any problems that haven't already been
wrestled with in some form for millenia of church history?
