Even allegorically, you have the earth before the sun and stars.Genesis does not have to be read literally ...
What's the difference between philosophical and theological?At the risk of repeating myself, theistic evolution is a philosophical interpretation of a scientific theory.

Does that include Christology and Pneumatology as well?Theology is a sub-discipline of philosophy.

So if you ran this site, I take it you would put CREATION AND EVOLUTION in the PHILOSOPHY forum, along with Theology proper?As I am quite sure you are aware, Christology and Pneumatology occur as chapter titles in many systematic theologies.

So the allegorical method can take a hike.
I doubt it.Would I?
I doubt it.
I have to think you're just being argumentative for the sake of argument.
If you're not, then ... well ... you're not.
YOU not being able to see how it is possible doesn't mean it isn't possible. Many Christians are TE.
Genesis is not disregarded. Genesis is obviously relevant to TE as we still think God is creator. Genesis does not have to be read literally (which really is for another thread), and has no always been treated as literal. Augustine for example took a symbolic interpretation. Now, regarding one's salvation is an entirely different subject, one I don't think is tenable if you take the position of saying no literal sense means no salvation, but again that is nor here or there.
Well honestly you are wrong. "Create" doesn't mean special creation, though. In fact, "creation" doesn't even have to mean that at all.
Who are you to understand anything about who is saved or not? You couldn't name one blessing anyone who believes in evolution or TE has missed...You people missed A LOT of blessings all because a very flawed theory developed by human.
Do you not realize many scientists are Christian? How does that preclude one from any eternal benefit? You failed to explain that, nor do I think you can.Are you a scientist? Do you really think the idea of evolution worths so much of your sacrifice on your eternal benefit?
Really? The OP has already agreed creationism isn't scientific. At least someone gets it! You have to bend backwards and add extra Biblical matters to make sense of a scientific understanding of a literal Genesis, which BTW, doesn't make it all that scientific...If you are a scientist, the huge problem of evolution is very very obvious to see. To me, it is scientifically much easier to believe the Genesis is literally true, than to believe the evolution really works as it said.

Can't you find a new song to sing? This one is getting a bit same-ey.

Yes, many many Christian scientists are in TE. I feel sorry for them.
Another Protestant who believes salvation is by works. In this case the work of disbelieving a well established scientific theory for no good reason.
If it's that obvious, how come so very few scientists appear to see it?
2. They are in the profession of using evolution theory. They need to keep their career.
Creationists make plenty of money.
