Here is a quote from the link mentioned above about Hodge.
I take it you are trying to convince us that the account given in Genesis is compatible with God using evolution.
From what I can gather, some people at least believe Hodge demonstrated evolution was incompatible with the Bible's teaching of Creation.
I don't think Hodge is a good person for TE's to quote. But hey, thanks anyway.From the above overview of his writings, that Hodge's main objection to Darwinism was its exclusion of design is clear. That he considered this exclusion as excluding God and therefore atheistic and incompatible with Christianity is also clear. Were Hodge's conclusions valid? In Charles Hodge's Critique of Darwinism, Jonathan Wells, himself a professed believer in evolution6, evaluates Hodge's arguments and conclusions, as well as the validity of Hodge representing mainstream Christianity of the period. He confirms both that Hodge was correct in his understanding of Darwinism (as defined by Darwin himself) and Christianity (as the mainstream theology throughout its history has understood it) as fundamentally incompatible and that Hodge did accurately represent Christian theological tradition as a whole (Wells 1988:215-223).
