Maybe we'd even blend in with the YECs and the OECs if we called ourselves

Theistic
Evolutionary
Creationists.

Hahaha, I actually quite like that! I am henceforth a TEC.

I said yes. I figure, the only people who really care whether I am a "TE" or not are young earth creationists on CF, and I fit their definition.

You know, it's funny that YECs are happy to refer to us as TEs, when all their arguments in fact suggest that they think of us as ATEs. (I recall a remark somewhere that "TE" is an oxymoron)

I realized that there is all kinds of science I have not studied for myself but accept and rely on every day.

I have no reason to stand in dispute of entire feilds of scientists and blow them off due to scriptures that make more sense when not interprated literally.

Whatever that makes my origins stance, that's what I am.

I'm a TE, but I also think it's a lousy term. To me, "theistic evolution" conjurs a mental image of natural selection amongst a population of gods, with subsequent reproduction and increased expression of gentic traits that contribute to the survival of gods in a particular environment.

Yeah, I know. It sounds nutty. I use the term TE because that is what is generally assigned to one who holds my particular set of beliefs.

I'm also part "Indian" because some of my ancestors were Wyandott, Mohawk, and Seneca. The terminology predates me and I'm not going to waste time arguing it that can be better wasted arguing other topics.
