Are Theistic Evolutionists generally liberal?

Oh, this was about theology. Goes to show what happens when you don't read the the thread. I am orthodox in my theology, though I do enjoy considering things from other points of view. I have a special interest in the Gnostics and their theology. Very interesting, despite it being heretical.

Same here.

I am generally conservative.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

I consider myself theologically conservative, and I believe science. I don't always believe people who are scientists. I also believe that humanity has an overblown sense of our scientific understanding of the universe.

I would describe myself as being on the conservative side of moderate. (by the standard of these forums anyway).

I am a Theistic Evolutionist and I am a liberal. However, not all Theistic Evolutionists are liberal. Many are conservative.

I'm a moderate -- fairly well persuaded by Karl Barth, theologically.

I think you'll find the TEs on this forum are fairly orthodox with a few exceptions (though, things may have changed since I was here last). In the Church as a whole? I don't think there's a strong correlation one way or the other. Certainly, all creationists I've ever met considered themselves conservative.

I would like to point out again the following:

It doesn't matter if a TE is liberal, moderate, or conservative. If anything were to truly matter is whether the TE was orthodox or not, which is not dependent of either of those terms. I have seen very orthodox liberals and very unorthodox conservatives (and the opposite is also true; the idea that most liberals are unorthodox and most conservatives are orthodox is very misleading and, from personal experience, is not true).

I'm not as common here as most of the true experts in science TEs are, but having I'd say read enough of their posts, I would be willing to bet that all of them, liberal, moderate, and conservative, are definitely orthodox.

For You are the Lord Most High, of great compassion, long-suffering, and very merciful, and You relent at human suffering. O Lord, according to Your great goodness You have promised repentance and forgiveness to those who have sinned against You, and in the multitude of Your mercies You have appointed repentance for sinners so that they may be saved.

Raised very conservative, now very liberal.

Moderate to conservative, and generally orthodox.

Ummm...

Politically, I am libertarian (liberal on things such as drugs (though think most are indeed harmful and addictive), prostitution (I think prostitution is terrible, but if one wishes to sell their body then that is their choice), and even marriage (IMO the states should have no control in giving married couples benefits and a marriage certificate)).

Theologically, I am orthodox. You can put me down in the Five solas camp.
