Re: [asa] List of positions n Origins (question on DE)

The latter (bolded below) which would supposedy be consistent with E.O. Wilson's gene-culture co-evolution model of existence, which is not theistic or deistic.

It is one thing to see "created through evolution (cosmic & biological)" and another to notice the 'modern synthesis' (presumptuous) addition of *culture* to the mix.
 
But of course, these are a different category of 'origins' that we would be speaking about then...

The idea that God created through evolution (cosmic & biological) can be
called deism only when that view is caricatured as "God created the first
hydrogen and said 'Evolve.'" (A recent quote from someone but I
can't recall who.) Such views are held by some & people & then are
properly called deism But this characterization is quite inaccurate for those
who believe that God is actually at work in the evolutionary process.

What is missing in a lot of views across the spectrum, from YEC to TE, is
adequate emphasis on God's ongoing activity in the world, creatio continua.
