Hi there.  Are Theistic Evolutionists generally liberal in their theology?  |

I think you'll be surprised to hear some rather unorthodox theology from our YEC friends (god-of-the-gaps, what constitutes the image of God, etc.). I can't speak for all evolutionary creationists here, but I'm fairly conservative, myself.

some are some are not
I would say most, not all, Catholics are Theistic Evolutionists and many of those are very conservative in their theology

St.Raphael pray for us
O angel of God, my holy guardian, given to me from heaven, enlighten me this day, and save me from all evil. Instruct me in doing good deeds, and set me on the path of salvation. Amen. |

If you mean by conservative, "orthodox," then I'm solidly so.

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.

Perhaps creating a poll would be an easier way to find out? |

I'd say my theology is mostly conservative in a C.S. Lewis/N.T. Wright kind of way.

No guilt of life, no fear of death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
